Feature enhancement details

Continuing the work from #8918.
For p5.js 2.x, add an additional test suite for textToContours().

The tests cases should use the same test strings as the textToPoints() benchmarks, targeting a sampleFactor which yields the same number of points. The goal is gauge performance across the textTo___ functions.

Test coverage must include the following renderers:

  • 2D
  • WebGL
  • WebGPU

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #8918 and the existing textToPoints() benchmark tests to find the shared test strings and renderer setup. Add the textToContours() benchmark suite for 2D, WebGL, and WebGPU, choosing sample factors that produce matching point counts, then run the benchmark tests to compare performance across the textTo___ functions.
