<@1079361271687807026> can you take a look, we are depricating `renderGLTFToPNGBufferFromGLBBuffer` as it is not browser safe, i am replacing them with `renderGLTFToPNGFromGLB` which is browser safe

these changes are in an effort to make the `poppygl` browser safe.

I added browser-safe equivalents in poppygl, and I’m now replacing the older Node-oriented calls in downstream repos.

The reason is that the old functions pull Node-specific behavior into places that only need PNG bytes. Functions like renderGLTFToPNGBufferFromGLBBuffer, renderGLTFToPNGBufferFromURL, and encodePNGToBuffer are tied to Buffer/Node-style output, while the new browser-safe functions return plain Uint8Array, which works in both browser and server environments.

By switching downstream repos to the browser-safe functions:

the root poppygl API becomes safe to import in browser bundles

<@757706909351411845> can you take a look when you are free

TL;DR

Functions like `renderGLTFToPNGBufferFromGLBBuffer`, `renderGLTFToPNGBufferFromURL`, and `encodePNGToBuffer` are tied to Buffer/Node-style output while the new browser-safe functions return plain Uint8Array, which works in both browser and server environments. 
To use `poppygl` in web we need to stop exporting them, i am replacing the old functions with the new browser compatible ones in these repos 
first
https://github.com/tscircuit/jscad-electronics/pull/296
https://github.com/tscircuit/svg.tscircuit.com/pull/1562
so we can remove them from exporting
