[PD] Update cyclone maintenance

I'm voting for a new [scale] and [scale~] object in cyclone, the second is
missing completely in extended, the first is around, but in different
versions, like [maxlib/scale], which has a log option, and is actually
buggy, and the [expr_scale], which is just an expr abstraction. Seems like
very simple externals to make and I could go ahead and code them. I think
they'd be really useful. For example, [scale~] would be essential to adjust
the amplitude range from LFOs to control your patches. the [scale] would be
good for adjusting MIDI input.

cheers
