Add support for Texture Buffer Objects (TBOs)

Increasing access

This would allow for more complex shaders which require more data while still making it possible to run them in realistic amounts of time. It would also help to introduce p5.js users to GPU based computing, which would be a great step forward for helping to develop the WebGL knowledge of beginners. For instance, high resolution voxel terrain which could use the increased amount of data transferring that TBOs allow for.

Feature request details

Create an official function that acts similarly to setUniform(), but offers more control over TBO specifics (e.g. texture type).

Similar to https://github.com/processing/p5.js/issues/7309

Start by reviewing the analogous p5.js issue 7309 and the existing WebGL API around setUniform(). Define the official TBO function's scope, including how texture types are controlled, and consider shader use cases such as high-resolution voxel terrain as the basis for deciding when the feature is complete.
