[PD] Midi Real Time Active Sensing Message Ignored

[Ingo]

Active Sensing comes in about 3 times per second with a single byte.
Nothing to worry about ...

Pd has no problem handling 600 or more note, CC and pitchbend messages per
second in my project.
I'm seeing no problems whith 2 MIDI ins sending each 600 messages (total of
1.200 per second) - without losing any timing accuracy.

I think the reason realtime messages are ignored when receiving is that, by
their nature, there are *a lot* of them and they come *really quickly*.
Based Pd's architecture, I can imagine a flood of realtime messages might
make the GUI unresponsive, so they are left off. I might be wrong on this.

actually it would be cool if [midiin] would really output all MIDI
messages!

maybe... try and open an issue on github, or a Pull Request (PR) and make a
case for that ;)

[midiclkin] doesn't output any clock messages while [midirealtimein] does

so it's apparently broken.

It is broken, and instead of being fixed, it is actually being removed, so
the idea is to keep using [midirealtimein] for that.
