Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

Currently, there appears to be no way to view the UVs on a USD mesh in Maya.

**Describe the solution you'd like**

For purposes of scene inspection, it would be nice to have the UVs appear in the UV Editor, even if they are not editable there.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

Our current workaround is to duplicate the mesh as Maya data.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Maya with a USD mesh and inspect the existing duplicate-as-Maya-data workaround. Determine how the UV Editor currently handles USD meshes and define done as displaying the mesh UVs for scene inspection without making them editable.
