[BUG-232658] PBR: Normal map intensity considerably lower than external editor

[sl-service-account]

What just happened?

Comparing normal maps with the current SL PBR build vs my external editor, SL's normals are considerably less intense than my editor.

What were you doing when it happened?

Comparing normal maps with my external editor.

What were you expecting to happen instead?

SL's normal map strength should match that of the external editor.

Other information

This material Is not making use of the glTF "normal strength" slider.

The headlights (at the lower right of the texture) are of particular note; the lack of intensity is very noticeable.
