Summary: Add proper "delete" or "clear" message to pd-[patchname]

Initial Comment:
For those of us doing dyanmic patching (where a patch
constructs itself) It would be really handy to delete
the contents of a subpatch without it opening!  

Currently if you want to delete the contents of a
subpatch called "array" you need to send this message: 

; pd-array vis 1, selectall, cut

And the "array" subpatch must open for the delete
operation to work. If you omit the "vis 1" message the
contents of the subpatch are not deleted and PD prints
a message about the patcher not being found like:
"invalid command name .x442b65.m.edit"
