MAYA: Insert Projection Before Deformers

Keep deformers in the history stack if the UV map projection would be better off projected flat. For example, a curved surface that uses a BEND deformer. The UV projection will be done before the bend deformer, giving a perfectly flat UV projection.

Essentially works as if you had the foresight to project the UV map before actually bending the surface. =)
