Ability to instantiate OpenGL objects without creating them.

Similarly to what's now done with NoInit tags for Containers::Array and
all math types such as Vector, there's now NoCreate tag for creating
wrappers without actually creating the underlying OpenGL object. The
instance is then equivalent to moved-from state. Useful to avoid
needless creation/deletion of OpenGL object in case you would overwrite
the instance later anyway:

    Mesh mesh{NoCreate};
    std::unique_ptr<Buffer> indices, vertices;
    std::tie(mesh, indices, vertices) = MeshTools:compile(...);
