**[bugs:#503] LaTeX writer fails to generate "labels" for some elements with "ids".**

Most doctree elements (nodes) accept the "ids" attribute that can be used as end-point for internal cross references.
In LaTeX, "ids" are represented as "labels". This is only implemented for a small subset of elements.
For example the internal hyperlink in 
~~~
.. note::
   :name: my-note
   
   This is an admonition with ID
   
Link to my-note_. 
~~~
does not work because there is no `\label{my-note}`  in the LaTeX output.
