I’ve created a new custom schema using the `pxr_plugin` CMake convenience function, and everything builds correctly. However, I’ve noticed that the Python module gets installed under the default `lib/python/pxr` directory. I’d prefer to use my own custom namespace and have it installed under `lib/python/<custom_namespace>` instead.

Is there a recommended way to override the default installation path for the Python module when using `pxr_plugin`?
