Summary: fix type-punned pointers (part 1)

Initial Comment:
optimization with strict-aliasing chokes on type-punned pointers. Type-casting is replaced with unions.

Using static functions in m_pd.h is not nice, but those will be inlined by any decent compilers anyway. 
Even better would be checking for the inline keyword with autoconf and use that throughout pd when available.
