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

Hi @shakeelmohamed, I'd like to work on this. Since this continues #8918, should I wait until that PR merges, or is it okay to branch off it now and adapt the textToContours() suite in parallel? Happy to add you as a reviewer once I open the PR.

Hi @LalitNarayanYadav, thank you! I think its probably best to wait until #8918 is merged so you don’t have to redo any work if things change.
