Remove Studio Sketchpad reference from home page?

Issue description

I'm preparing an introduction to Processing and I tried to browse the home page from the perspective of a beginner. I noticed a link to "Studio Sketchpad", a web site which has not been updated in a while, and has an invalid, expired certificate. SketchPad seems to provide a similar experience to p5.js editor, should this reference be removed, in favour of the much more modern, user-friendly and well-maintained p5.js ?

URL(s) of affected page(s)

https://processing.org/

Proposed fix

Remove reference to Sketchpad Studio.

http://p5js.SketchPad.cc is a fully functioning Processing sketch hosting site.
Although it's not much used for p5js sketches nowadays, it's still going strong for Java Mode / Pjs sketches:
http://Studio.SketchPad.cc

I think this site is an excellent archive of Processing sketches and classes so I think it's good to keep it at this moment.
