asset HDA LOP: Implement and use select product dialog

[MustafaJafar]

Changelog description

Use dialog to pick product and remove redundant Houdini parameter.

Additional info

There's a bug where the representation name is not updating. I can reproduce it in develop branch.
oh, there's an issue for it already #32

Testing Notes:

1. use asset lop.
2. try the product picker.
3. everything should work as usual.

Thanks @MustafaJafar

I personally like it less because it's further away from where you click so I have a feeling it's less quick this way, usually. But I'm fine with merging it if everyone likes it.

Could you add a screen recording on how it behaves without this PR? That way anyone can just quickly comment on the visual differences on how it behaves.

Had another look - I actually love that this removes the Product Type parm. Simplifies a lot of things.

However, I would love for the dialog to feel more like a dropdown menu so that it popups near the clicked location so that it behaves similar to what Houdini does or right click context menus do. I'll look into that.

@BigRoy , I almost forgot about this PR 😄

I've had it in my mind - just not at high priority... but looking at the fact that I'm now creating more HDAs.. maybe I do want to focus on this rather sooner than later. Hmm... hopefully later this week before my vacation.

So, what is missing according to your comment #39 (comment) above is to place the window near the mouse position.
I'm a little noob.
I was able to get the mouse location, but no idea how to set the location correctly.

    def showEvent(self, event):
        # Position the window near the mouse position 
        pos = QtGui.QCursor.pos()
        geo = QtCore.QRect(pos.x(), pos.y())
        self.setGeometry(geo)

        return super(SelectFolderPathDialog, self).showEvent(event)

@MustafaJafar I've pushed some changes could you give it a go and of course, break it if possible?
