[PD-dev] Clarification on linked lists of inlets and outlets

[Miller Puckette]

Hi Sebastian,

You don't have to keep track of inlets, and the only reason tmo keep track
of outlets is to be able to send messages to them.  You're right that the
inlets and outlets are freed automatically when the object is freed so you
can just forget about them.

cheers
Miller

Additionally I can't find a single instance of inlet_free being used in pd vanilla in a patchable object destructor.
