[PD] external binary file extensions for 32 and 64bit under recent OS X

[Christof Ressi]

Hi,

apart from the "generic" library extensions (".pd_darwin", ".pd_linux", 
".so" and ".dll"), Pd also supports platform specific extensions, with a 
OS prefix and the CPU architecture:

Prefixes:

"m_" -> Windows

"d_" -> macOS

"l_" -> Linux

"o_" -> OpenBSD

Architectures:

"amd64" -> Intel 64-bit

"i386" -> Intel 32-bit

"arm" -> Arm 32-bit

"arm64" -> Arm 64-bit

"ppc" -> PowerPC

---

In your case, you can ship two different binaries next to each other: 
".d_i386" and ".d_amd64".

Finally, macOS also supports fat binaries, where several architectures 
are contained within a single binary. These have the extension ".d_fat".
