Summary: fix paths for Paths dialog, Help Browser, plugins, etc.

Initial Comment:
Currently, the Help Browser doesn't find libraries and pd-gui doesn't find plugins if they are installed into the new user-installed locations.  That's because pd-gui assumes the 'extra' path is just pd/extra, but now there are multiple 'extra' paths.  This patch fixes that bug and makes the naming clearer.  In pd-gui pd_path becomes sys_searchpath just like in pd.  And pd_extrapath becomes sys_staticpath in pd and pd-gui. These are then  used for Paths dialog, Help Browser, plugins, etc.
