[PD] [file]: paths not relative to patch

[Christof Ressi]

Then let's go with [file patchdir] for now. I don't care too much about 
the name :-)

A bang would unsurprisingly output the patch directory.

You can also send a path name as a symbol. If the path is relative, 
[file patchdir] will resolve it to the patch directory. Absolute paths 
are passed unchanged.

Should we also provide a creation argument and float message for the 
parent level? For example, [bang( -> [file patchdir 1] resp. [1( -> 
[file patchdir] would output the parent patch directory, etc. This would 
make [pdcontrol]'s [dir( method entirely obsolete.
