[PD-dev] removing string types from pd-extended release

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I don't know the details, but I believe it was just choosing an  
unused number to represent the type.  Then also not using a keyword.   
Ultimately, there could be something like /etc/services where we can  
register these numbers.  Or maybe they could just be included in the  
Pd headers.
