publish and "publish as"

[nwh19]

If you are updating an asset you should be able to do so with one click. Old publish functionality should also remain intact.

Done criteria:

• on click, publish should bring up a dialogue box to verify you want to publish and to be able to write a "commit message" for your asset.
• on click, "publish as" should bring up a dialogue box to publish the asset as a new asset
• "publish" button will behave as "publish as" if the current asset has never been published.

What would be quickest to add currently: A "Quick Publish" shelf tool that remembers the current asset being worked on (this could be an environment variable maybe?) that is set when "Create new body" is clicked or when "Clone" is clicked.

When this is clicked, it creates a new publish prompting for commit message, in the cloned department or "model" if create new body was last pressed button.

So, we need to set up Maya to remember the most recent asset and element/department.
