NURBS curves of degree 1 are exported as UsdGeomBasisCurves rather than UsdGeomNurbsCurves

If a degree 1 curves is created in Maya and exported using the MayaUSD plugin, the resulting USD file represents the geometry as a UsdBasisCurves type. That does not seem correct. The geometry in Maya is a Nurbs curve, and USD can represent degree 1 NURBS curves. That makes it difficult to transfer this geometry to other packages via USD.

**Steps to reproduce**
Create a degree 1 NURBS curve using the curve tool and setting degree to 1 in the option box.
Save using USD exporter using ASCII output
Inspect file, note that it does not contain a NurbsCurves object. Creating a degree 3 curve will create a NurbsCurves object.
