This adds the synthdefs as well as the supporting files and code.
The docs, synthdef files, and UGens have been updated. Still to come are prebuilt binaries of the UGens for 32 bit Windows, and MacOS.
This allows validations for co-dependent synth opts, where valid values for one opt depend on the values of another. Extra handling has also been added for the array value of the :automatone synth's initial_row: opt to allow checking the validity of each of the array items.
The default value of the note_mod_source: opt is more interesting when set to 3.
This add the source into the GUI external components folder along with the necessary updates to the existing build scripts.
TODO: pass extra UGens path to scsynth on Linux
The recent changes to separate api files into a separate directory and restructure the app tree mean that it has been necessary to move these supercollider plugin related files to match.
This is apparently just an optional extra for increased performance on specific types of hardware. It's possibly not needed, and may not be supported on platforms such as the Raspberry Pi. If necessary, we can potentially add it back in in a targeted manner.
This adds instructions to pre-build the emergent behaviour synth Ugen plugins on mac, and updates the corresponding instructions on Linux to account for the new path to the native plugins.
The hope is to distribute these synths with the upcoming v4.0 release, so the version introduced data have been updated. Also, some code indentation has been fixed.
This brings the script into line with previous changes made by Sam.

This PR includes changes that add two new Synths to Sonic Pi, that both generate sound by running simulations that emulate emergent behaviour:
:automatoneuses an elementary cellular automaton algorithm in combination with additive synthesis to generate a series of combined frequency partials that can be manipulated in various ways in the frequency domain.:flockuses a flocking algorithm to generate a series of frequencies that are modulated in one of several ways by the simulation.Several changes have been necessary to introduce these new synths:
Several things remain to be done before I consider the new synths ready to release:
Note that the large number of files in this PR is partially to do with the addition of bits of SuperCollider's source code - various header files that uGen development appears to depend on.
Note also that this is currently marked as a draft PR, as there may be several tweaks that may be desired as mentioned above - but I can "un-draft" it if preferred.
