[MAYA-104134] USDZ import not always working with 0.1 precompiled USD plugin

[martin-pw]

I am having mixed results with usdz import using the 0.1 precompiled USD plugin.

usdc always works, usdz only sometimes works, depending on the workflow. Details:

Windows

• Loading a usdc file via the File->Import menu works
• Loading a usdz file via the File->Import menu works
• Dragging a usdc file into the Maya viewport works
• Dragging a usdz file into the Maya viewport does not work and generates an error: "Unrecognized file type".

Linux

• Importing a usdc file via python (cmds.file) into Maya batch works

• Importing a usdz file via python (cmds.file)into Maya batch does not work and generates this error:

  RuntimeError: No translator could be found to read the file 'filename.usdz'.

Maya 2020
Windows 10 and Linux
USD plugin version: https://github.com/Autodesk/maya-usd/releases/tag/v0.1.0

FYI for @santosg87
I already have a fix that is in: #396
But I have not tested Martins Maya batch workflow, only the dragging onto Maya problem.

Closing since it was fixed internally. @martin-pw please reopen if we missed something.
