AY-6956_Houdini USD workflow: Provide better default creators (e.g. model, usd shot contributions, etc.)

[dee-ynput]

Please describe the enhancement you have in mind and explain what the current shortcomings are?

Houdini publishes of USD only has "USD" creator and a "look" creator. However, asset workflows, shot workflows, models, grooms, fx, they all go through this default "USD creator" which makes a 'usd' product type.

We should really work towards being able to publish more explicit product types, like "model", "look", "groom" or even shot department layers using a shot USD creator or also there more specific to the contents, like "pointcache" or other types.

Separating these also allows us to set much better defaults on the ROP nodes, and specify more dedicated validators

How would you imagine the implementation of the enhancemenent?
