Description

## Description of bug / unexpected behavior
```
from manim import *
from manim.opengl import *

class Test(Scene):
def construct(self):
circle = OpenGLCircle()
circle.set_fill(BLUE, opacity=0.5)
circle.set_stroke(BLUE_E, width=4)
square = OpenGLSquare(fill_opacity=0, stroke_opacity=1, stroke_color=RED, stroke_width=5, draw_stroke_behind_fill=False)

self.play(FadeIn(square))
self.wait()

```
Gives a blank black screen:

While
```
from manim import *
from manim.opengl import *

class Test(Scene):
def construct(self):
circle = OpenGLCircle()
circle.set_fill(BLUE, opacity=0.5)
circle.set_stroke(BLUE_E, width=4)
square = OpenGLSquare(fill_opacity=1, stroke_opacity=1, stroke_color=RED, stroke_width=5, draw_stroke_behind_fill=False)

self.play(FadeIn(square))
self.wait()

```

Gives this:

This shows that the problem in my local installation lies with rendering strokes.

## Expected behavior
Strokes should render correctly.

Research direction

Start by running the provided Test scene with the OpenGL renderer, comparing the OpenGLSquare cases on the reported Windows 10 and Python 3.9.2 setup. Investigate the OpenGL stroke-rendering path and verify the reproduction after any change; done means the square's stroke renders correctly when fill_opacity is zero as well as when it is one.
