Description
Created by: benfry
In 4.0a2, removed the frame field in PApplet. It's been showing warnings to use surface since 2015, but we should provide a warning or even a way to auto-fix code that still uses it.

Research direction
Start by tracing how Processing handles sketch code that still references the removed PApplet.frame field, and compare that path with the surface replacement mentioned in the issue. Decide whether the scope is a warning, an automatic fix, or both; done means legacy frame usage receives the agreed user-facing behavior.
