#1680: t/steps/gen/opengl-01.t: Tests for verbose output fail when OpenGL not
present

-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
While testing Parrot today on a box on which OpenGL is not installed, I
got failures in ''t/steps/gen/opengl-01.t'' in tests for verbose output.
I had not previously encountered these failures because the two machines
on which I regularly test Parrot both have OpenGL installed.
`gen::opengl::runstep()` is quite complex and it is difficult to write
tests which mock all the branches and conditions inside it. The tests for
verbose output are not very relevant when `has_opengl` is false. So I
think it would be best to simply `SKIP` some tests rather than jump
through hoops mocking them.
The patch attached implements this correction, but I'm going to hold off
until after the release to apply it.
Thank you very much.
