[PD] [table] update notification

[Jonathan Wilkes]

Pd-l2ork has a feature where you can [r "arrayname_changed"]

and you'll get a bang when the array is modified with the mouse.  

If you want a notification when using tabwrite/etc., well, when those 

objects receive a message to update the array, just manually send 

a bang to "arrayname_changed" when this happens.
