GLBuffers fix ; GL imageSizeInBytes fix / unit tests.

- Moved implementation of prev GL imageSizeInBytes(..) -> GLBuffers.sizeof() for all GL profiles

- GLBuffers.*: Added missing formats and types (GL2.1, GL3.3 and GL4.1)

- GLBuffers.sizeof(): Fail fast if format/type is unhandled, or alignment invalid

- Added unit test for GLBuffers.sizeof()
