[Interest] Allow external library to generate OpenGL buffers in context of QOpenGLWidget

[Pieter Barendrecht]

Hi Giuseppe,

Thanks, but unfortunately that's not it. It turns out to be possible to
specify an OpenGL context as an optional argument when invoking certain
calls to OpenSubdiv, though I'm not quite sure what to pass on from within
a QOpenGLWidget — something like context()->handle() compiles but doesn't
do the trick. To be continued...

Best,
Pieter
