Backport rev. 5a58ca2b by msp from vanilla: patch 1990599 - allow recursive calls of new_anything().

Bump vanilla compatibility version due to an API change in the loader extension interface (rev. b66acec3 in vanilla).

Newer Xcode will complain if we compile for any target older than 10.4. Bumping the target to 10.4 hopefully gets rid of some annoying warnings when running make directly in pd/src on the Mac.

Add a proper Pd-l2ork version number, which serves to identify official releases and the particular Pd-l2ork flavor (1.x for classic Pd-l2ork and 2.x for the nw.js a.k.a. Purr Data version).

We use 'defaults export' rather than 'defaults read' to grab the prefs data on OSX now, which loads the prefs much faster and also properly deals with filenames containing UTF-8 characters.

Otherwise search paths from old program versions installed in different places may keep piling up, eventually causing issues when submitting prefs data because of buffer limits.

Turn the user config dir (~/.pd-l2ork on Linux) into a #define so that it's easier to patch it up when needed.

Add support for loading and storing the MIDI API preference (commit 516eba76 from vanilla by aib <aibok42@gmail.com>, slightly edited.

Keep track of the number of audio and MIDI device entries in the preferences, to avoid zombie entries on Mac and Windows. Proposed fix for #213, needs testing on Mac and Windows.
