Fix crash with SOP OpenVDB Convert when a reference mesh is provided.

Fix a very small memory leak in some modes of PolyDoctor SOP.

Fixed bug where localscheduler would ignore HOUDINI_PATH environment variable when set for a work item.

Changed hou.Node.createDigitalAsset() to use the same logic of where to install the HDA as the "Create Digital Asset..." menu entry on a node. In particular, this means that installing an asset into a path scanned by Houdini for assets will now install it to "Scanned Asset Library Directories" by default instead of "Current HIP File". The method now has a new input_path argument to allow overriding this default.

Fixed a bug where otcreatetypefrom -i "Scanned Asset Library Directories" would not work properly.
