[KATANA] Asset API

Concept:
                    asset plugin
Katana <---------------------->  Asset Management System 
                 retrieve, publish
             browser & parameter widget customization


Workflow:
           shot#, seq#, ...            ------>   Asset ID 1  ----->   File Path
asset fields (node parameters)      buildAssetId       resolveAsset

if for retrieving asset, just load the asset/scene
if for publishing asset,
------> Generate Asset   ------>  Asset ID 2 (with increased version or override current one)
    createAssetAndPath                                postCreateAsset(... assetType, fields, args)
