Start the lifetime of the texture reference

reinterpret_cast<> doesn't create an object, so the texref is actually unitiliazed. This may lead to garbage data in some of its struct members.

Initialize it by performing a placement new. The constructer should set all of its members to default values. There's no way currently to extract the channel type, so use single channel char for now.
