Processing 4.5.6 አውርድ

Hello! Welcome to Processing 4.5.6. I hope it works!
Things of note:
- Not only did we upgrade Gradle 8.14.4, we also upgraded to Gradle 9.1! (We are now on Gradle 9.x)
- Mark Sherman's Students made many PRs that were merged in YAY
- @neobrain has officially landed something that will enable the Processing Nix package
Outside of the Release: the-wgpu-moment branch that has been around almost a year is now merged into main! So do reach out in the discord if you're curious about playing with that. It is not made to be easily explored just yet, but we do want to know if you're interested in playing with it, and will definitely help it work on your system.
