Create a VAO and attach it to the default object.

I believe this is correct. Could you find the spec reference for this, though?

After much hunting I found it in GL Spec 4.0.0: (https://www.opengl.org/registry/doc/glspec40.core.20100311.pdf) in Section E.2.2 "Removed Features", pg 397:

> Client vertex and index arrays - all vertex array attribute and element array

> bound.

So, I update the patch to only do this for version >= 4, or should we just create a VAO unconditionally for GL core profiles?

Unconditional is probably better.
