Bring back compute normals on import

As formats such as PTX and FLS/FARO have the data built in to compute the correct normals, it'd be great if this feature was added (or re-added).

Back in v2.5 of CC you could compute normals on import.

Calculating normals never works that great for me, and since the data is already in certain file formats to derive the true normals, why calculate?

Right now I run v2.5.4.1 to calculate PTX normals (from an exported FARO Scene project), then export a CC BIN file, and import it into CC v2.8. It's the only way to get good normals.

Thanks!
