Adding Skia as Renderer for p5py

[arihantparsoya]

Given the performance improvements skia has over Vispy, we intend to integrate skia as a new 2D renderer.

I am providing a roadmap to integrating Skia into p5py. I will be opening individual issues for all of them so anyone interested can contribute:

Update the code to support different renderers

• Add support for renderer attribute in run() function #213 Add support for renderer attribute in run() function.
• Refactor current 2D renderer into single module #215 Create new module called VispyRenderer where all the code related to Vispy (current renderer) can be located. This includes code for PShape.
• Update Public APIs to support different renderers #214 Update Public API functions to call different functions depending on the renderer being used.

Add support for Skia

• Creating new SkiaRenderer module in p5py #293 Create new rendering module SkiaRenderer
• Add support for environment variables in SkiaSketch #294 Add support for basic attributes such as frame_rate, frame_count
• Add event handlers (like mouse_pressed) for Skia
• Add support for all public API using Skia

All issues related to this will be added in "Integrate Skia" milestone.

I realy hope p5 can improve its performance
