better rigify for easy import (also Xin and Engetudouiti please comment)

As I understand it, rigify seems to rely on a pre bended rest pose for the ik to work fine. This is also recommended in the rigify tutorials I found around. Then to make it work it is necessary to “optimize pose for ik” first, otherwise we get flippings as shown in the picture below.

What I propose is to optimize for ik when there’s rigify for easy import, so the user gets a working rig with no flippings. While we’re at it, also using a wire rig instead of sticks may make the custom layers more elegant and in line with the rest of the rig.

steps:

import G8F
convert to rigify without “optimize pose for ik”
try to pose the feet and you get flippings
