P5.js: p5.Element.parent() should return p5.Element instance

[dipamsen]

Most appropriate sub-area of p5.js?

• DOM

Feature enhancement details:

p5.Element.prototype.child() and p5.Element.prototype.parent() should return p5.Element instance instead of returning HTML DOM node so that .show(), .hide() and other p5.Element functions can be called.

Current:

let btn = select("button");
new p5.Element(btn.parent()).hide();

Suggested:

let btn = select("button");
btn.parent().hide();

We won't be losing any functionality as DOM node can be accessed through btn.parent().elt.

This is technically a breaking change so I wouldn't recommend changing the implementation at this point.
