Summary: [bugfix?] recursive call of objectmaker's "new_anything"

Initial Comment:
for whatever reason, pd_objectmaker's anything-method "new_anything" is protected against recursive calls with a "tryingalready" variable.

this effectively prevents sys_loaders to be able to load abstractions.
the attached patch removes this protection.

i haven't found any problems with this simplified version yet (tested with normal abstractions, nested abstractions; abstractions containing themselves), but probably i missed it.
