[PD] declare and abstraction

[Miller Puckette]

There's a long-standing bug with putting declares in abstractions (they
affect the way the _parent_ patch searches for patches, not the abstraction
itself.)  It's on my dolist to try to restore sanity to the situation somehow
(compatibly) but I won't be able to do that anytime soon.

So, yes, for now put all the declares in the toplevel.

cheers
