The documentation of ARB_invalidate_subdata mentions that all the
functions are really just a hint for the implementation to make some
performance optimizations and they are not affecting behavior at all. So
it's perfectly fine to do nothing if the extension is not supported.
I didn't do this originally as I mistakenly thought that invalidating
depth buffer would somehow behave the same as clearing it, but that's
not the case.
