Optimize static elements on both data and element id

[jlstevens]

Currently only the data id is used in this optimization. If both the element and the data id were used, I think it would still work where it needs to without causing confusing behavior when working with mutable data.

After discussing this with Philipp we decided we might want something like this:

def plot_id(obj):
   if hasattr(obj, '_plot_id'): 
      return obj._plot_id
   else: 
      return id(obj)

And then the clone method can transfer the parent _plot_id to the clone output. With something like:

   if self._plot_id is not None:
      clone._plot_id = self._plot_id

Hopefully this will allow the static source optimization to work better without worrying about the various uses of clone in the plotting code.

The fix described above has now been merged.
