Patch to make glGetString() do something "useful" without a context

I ran into this independently and am attaching my personal patch here for
posterity only. It's not a reasonable solution since it hardcodes returning
NVIDIA Corporation for GL_VENDOR if the context is null - an earlier comment
suggests always returning null is good enough (and in fact, returning anything
else could also send calling code down a bad path), but I wasn't sure what the
game wanted the value for so I decided to return the right thing for my system
at the time, and it worked for me.
