Added validation of the command success when retrieving the display label of a renderer.
Moved private functions to be completely private.
Added a function to return a name-indexed map of renderers for faster access by name.
Added scan of the storm renderers registry.
This also allows merging renderers with the same name reported by different APIs.
This also fixes the problem that Maya-Hydra was not correctly reported as a Hydra renderer by the Maya renderer command.
Modified currentRenderer and switchRenderer to read and write the current renderer from the SceneRenderDescription.
This becomes the fallback value if for any reason the Maya global renderer node is not found or is empty.
Added unit tests for MayaRendererProvider.
Made usage of sceneRenderDescription conditional on its availability.
Added more code to validate that a given Hydra renderer is available.
Avoid using possibly invalid renderer name when switching renderers.
Update the global settings last since that is what triggers updates elsewhere.
Added classes to automatically hold and release Hydra-related pointers.

Overall good. Just a couple of minor things to fix and a couple of questions.

- Removed copyrights in cmake files. - Trying to build C++ test on all platforms. - Using MayaUsd Namespace. - Using a std::string instead of a const char*
