Summary: automatically "send" lists with [udpsend]

Initial Comment:
with this patch one can use [udpsend] to send data without having to prepend the "send" selector to each message.
everything that is a "list" will automatically be "send".

e.g.
"1 2 3 59" is the same as "send 1 2 3 59" 
"list /tmp/test.txt" is the same as "send /tmp/test.txt"

reasoning:
 - when dealing with a lot of messages to be sent, it quickly becomes tiresome and cpu-consuming to have to prepend "send" to every message.
 - lists are the native type of "data" in pd (as opposed to "commands"); [udpsend]s native way to deal with "data" is to send it (special behaviour like (dis)connecting is done via special messages)


might be that my reasoning is not completely in-line with pd-vanilla (compare the "send" message to [netsend])

if this gets accepted, [tcpsend] should also be modified accordingly

OK,good idea. I changed udpsend, also made the same change to tcpsend,
tcpclient and tcpserver.
