USD Exporter: clarified export options in the UI

- "Only Export Selected Objects" → "Selection Only", as this is the
  standard used in other exporters.
- "Evaluation Mode" → "Use Settings for", as this is clearer for users
  who aren't as familiar with the technical details of the depsgraph.
- "Use Instancing" → "Instancing", and moved the checkbox to the end of
  the option list into its own box "Experimental". This looks a bit
  cleaner than just plonking "EXPERIMENTAL" in the checkbox label.
