Bug 5118

It currently seems impossible to create an opengl window using SDL_CreateWindowFrom().

There are proposed patches here (https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4219), but it would be great to have an official implementation. 

Preferably, something along the lines of 

SDL_CreateWindowFrom(void* data, flags)

would seem best fit (for vulkan, etc.), while also aligning with SDL_CreateWindow.

This would allow ex. creating sdl windows from child windows to hook into editors, etc.
