[PD] UDP server with Pd

[Christof Ressi]

IMO, those are just silly workarounds. When I send a packet from A to B, 
I would expect to get a reply from B and not some random socket C.

What we actually need is a UDP networking object that can independently

1) listen for packets on a given port

2) send packets to any destination

There is no reason why we would need two seperate objects for this. A 
UDP socket is perfectly capable of doing both at the same time.
