Convert disk lights to spot light when cone:angle attribute is present

[TomMinor]

Describe the bug Creating a spotlight via the tab menu (Lights >> Spot Light) will use 'Disk' as the default type:

When exported to .USD (and converted to .ASS with kick), the type is disk_light

disk_light

This doesn't work with gobo light linking, which only works for spot_light/sphere light types.

Potential fix

Identify when the 'spotlight specific' attributes are set (i.e. cone:angle) and set the light type to spot_light.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a spotlight via the tab menu (Lights >> Spot Light)

2. Change the angle to something reasonable

3. Follow the light linking docs to attach a Gobo to the spotlight, e.g.

4. The render will show nothing

5. Change the spotlight type to 'Sphere' (or 'Point')

6. The render will now shot the light filter properly
