[PD] Quick dev question r.e. underlying tcl version

[Dan Wilcox]

For quite a few years, builds for newer macOS versions come with 8.6 while builds for very *old* macOS versions *may* have 8.4. In any case, it's best to check the available Tcl version on load in your plugin / code and issue a warning if it's not supported.

This is something that should probably be added to the platform specific readme: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/mac/README.txt
