Two patches relative to help patches and help browser.

The first one avoids to add subdirs of paths declared in preferences to the first column of the Help Browser, but only adds the paths themselves instead.

For example, if "myLib/" directory is declared in preferences, and if myLib/ contains foo/ and bar/ subdirs, only "myLib/" entry is added to the first column of Help Browser, instead of "foo/" and "bar/" as currently.


The second strips the path component from an abstraction's filename before searching for its help patch ; this way, help file "foo/abs-help.pd" or "foo/help-abs.pd" would be found
for a [foo/abs] abstraction.
Currently such help file is not found, as pd looks for "foo/foo/abs-help.pd".
