[PD-dev] removing path and libs from Pd-extended preferences GUI

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

For next Pd-extended release, the same set of libraries that have been
loading automatically at start-up would continue to be loaded as usual.
It is just that there wouldn't be a GUI for people to modify that list
of libraries that are loaded at startup.  I think most Pd-extended users
don't use the startup libs preference already, so I am guessing most
people wouldn't notice.
