Function: takes args and matchesPos + duplicates specified type onto each arg
Args = type=str, space=int, addSuffix=str, parent=str
State: type=one of ['LOC','PLANE','CUBE','JNT','GRP','CAM','SLGT','DLGT','PLGT','ALGT']
if in list of prespecified objects, will populate across. Explained:
locator, plane, cube, joint, group, camera,
spotlight, directional light, point light, area light
space=1-4: check help for _SCRIPTS._LAYOUT.lib_position.matchPos for instruction on this
otherwise leave default
Returns: list of PyNode(type)
Example Usage: xpop(type='JNT', addSuffix='TEMP')
