Summary: add threaded read/write for coll to avoid xruns

Initial Comment:
Xruns occur when coll tries to read/write large files, particularly when Pd is running more complex patches. Following proposed solution does read/write in a separate thread to avoid generating xruns and outputs bang on load using clock_delay to make it sync properly with the main thread.

Hey Ico, glad to see you putting work into hard problems.

cyclone is a complex library with a very specific goal: a collection of
clones of Max/MSP objects, bugs, warts and all.  I recommend that you just
make your own version of [coll] and give it a new name to avoid confusion,
unless you really share this goal and are willing to test against Max/MSP.
