Grape minds drink alike!

I just checked in an overhaul of DeviceListWriter that does just that.
Doesn't work very well, cuz:
 * There's no source for the code to get those short comments, and the long
infoText is WAY to big for this table.
 * Probing the device capabilities requires calling
constructor(Preferences), which fails in a few cases.
 * Probing for the patch editor requires *creating* the patch editor, which
crashes and/or hangs in most cases.

Feel free to improve it.
