Use Generic Loader as internal building block for Load Asset/Shot LOP - #199

resolve #165
This PR follows these notes.
List of changes:

• Add Generic Loader in LOPs
• Implement USD compatible representations filter in the generic loader
• Skipping non editable nodes inside locked HDAs when calling get_containers
• Use Generic Loader inside lop_import and load_shot
• Promotes these parameters from the inner generic loader
• Project
• Folder Path
• Folder Name
• Product
• Version
• Representation
• Clear Cache
• File
• Use AYON Entity URI
• Show Entity Thumbnail
• Show Pipeline Parms
• Representation ID
• Clean up the imported functions in PythonModule

TODO:

• Use Generic Loader as internal building block for lop_import
• Use Generic Loader as internal building block for Load Shot
• Fix double listing in Scene Inventory (AYON > Load... and AYON > Manage...). it should only list the Load Asset/Shot.
• Limit the options of Representation drop down menu to show only compatible representations with reference and sublayer.
• ensure the PR is backward compatible
• ensure context options are still working.
• Check thumbnails.
• Use computed thumbnail path by the generic loader? It already happens.

[!Note]
I've to admit that expanding the HDA while using git is very powerful and ease reverting changes 😅

Support render targets for cache instances - #180

resolve #19
Support render targets for the following products: (I'll add them by creators)

• Alembic camera
• Arnold ass
• Pointcache Bgeo
• Model
• Pointcache Abc
• Redshift proxy
• Review
• Static Mesh
• USD (it works with contribution workflow. users should wait the publish before loading the usd asset)
• USD Look (it works with contribution workflow, users should wait the publish before loading the usd asset))
• VDB Cache

[!Note]
When supporting render targets for Houdini CompositeSequence (Cop Node), composite instances triggers Submit Image Publishing job to Deadline along Submit cache jobs to Deadline because the instance has both imagesequence and publish.hou families.
Here's an issue for it #183

This means that supporting Cop Nodes will need to go through the render submitting logic instead of cache submitting logic.
