Jesse Yurkovich 9ad2c7df0b USD: implement native Unicode support
Make use of USD's new UTF-8 support to allow our import/export code to
accept and generate appropriate USD files. This has been a long standing
shortcoming since USD's introduction, with incomplete and complicated
DCC-specific workarounds often attempted.

Summary of changes
- Export gets a new "Allow Unicode" option defaulting to "false". The
  new Unicode USD files are not backward compatible. DCCs using older
  versions of USD (before 24.03) will not be able to load such files so
  we want to provide this as an opt-in option for now.
- Every location which used to call either `USDHierarchyIterator::make_valid_name`
  or `pxr::TfMakeValidIdentifier` will now go through a new `make_safe_name`
  API instead
- Export code is responsible for passing in the `allow_unicode` option
- Import code will always pass in `true` meaning Blender will happily
  accept both existing and new Unicode USD files

Strangely, USD does not provide a convenient way of making valid UTF-8
identifiers and they left their old API unchanged. We had to roll our
own per their advice: https://forum.aousd.org/t/how-to-make-a-unicode-identifier-valid/1435
