Decomposes the flat list under "How Do I Validate My OpenUSD?" by buildingSMART's 4-layer validation model (Syntax / Schema, Normative rules, Best practices, Learn more). Each layer's tools sit under a short rubric question, helping both human readers and downstream agents match user intent to the right tool. Adds usdchecker (OpenUSD's primary CLI validator) and renames the PXR validation docs link to "UsdValidation framework" — the engine usdchecker now uses; replaces the deprecated UsdUtils.ComplianceChecker.

Restructure validation section around 4-layer model
The bullet conflated a renderer-specific load behavior (OVRTX front-loads all materials/textures and bypasses runtime caches when opening USDZ) with a general OpenUSD best practice (prefer binary USDC over ASCII USDA for production assets). Splits them: USDA guidance now cites Maximizing USD Performance as the OpenUSD primary; USDZ guidance is scoped to OVRTX with a note that USDZ itself is just an uncompressed zip designed for random access — load behavior is consumer-dependent and other Hydra renderers may differ.

Scope USDZ load-perf advice to OVRTX; cite OpenUSD primary for USDA
