Set the Default Prim on a Stage

It’s best practice to set the defaultPrim metadata on a Stage if the Stage’s root layer may be used as a Reference or Payload. Otherwise, consumers of your Stage are forced to provide a target prim when they create a Reference or Payload arc. Even though the Usd.Stage.SetDefaultPrim() accepts any Usd.Prim, the default prim must be a top-level prim on the Stage.
