Multiple simultaneous visualizations

To support multiple concurrent visualizations, replace the activeViz variable in VisualizerBox with a list of visualizations:

public List<Visualization> visualizations = new ArrayList<Visualization|();

Then, cycle through the list in each of the VisualizerBox method that use it. We always want to set up all of them, but then only draw (preDraw, postDraw) the active ones:

    public void setup() {
        audioTexture = genTexture();
        fftTexture = genTexture();
        for (Visualization viz : visualizations) {
            viz.setup();
        }
    }
    public void preDraw() {
        for (Visualization viz : visualizations) {
            viz.preDraw();
        }
    }
    public void postDraw() {
        for (Visualization viz : visualizations) {
            viz.postDraw();
        }
