Changes:
This pull request introduces a new joint getter/setter function, activeCamera(), to the p5.RendererGL.prototype to standardize how the active camera is accessed and modified.

New activeCamera() function:

When called with no arguments (activeCamera()), it acts as a getter and returns the current camera object.
When called with a camera object (activeCamera(myCam)), it acts as a setter for the active camera.

Deprecated setCamera():

The existing setCamera() function is now deprecated.
For backward compatibility, it continues to function by calling the new activeCamera() internally.
These changes align with the common p5.js pattern of using joint getter/setter functions and improve the consistency of the WebGL API.
