Currently, an arnold ginstance node is saved to USD as an ArnoldGinstance primitive.
It would be better to rely on generic usd data instead, with an instanceable Xform prim

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the code that serializes Arnold ginstance nodes to USD, then trace how ArnoldGinstance primitives are authored; done means ginstances are written as generic, instanceable USD Xform prims instead.
