Summary: Related to #53, creating another FR for importing from CSV.

Ideally one could just copy/paste from excel or another program, or focalboard could provide a template, or it could try to read a CSV and spit out what it gets.

Research direction
Examine related issue #53 for context on import/export expectations. Explore the Focalboard codebase for existing file handling (e.g., in webapp or server). Identify the data model for boards and cards to map CSV columns. Check for existing UI components for file upload. Consider drafting a proposal for CSV format and import flow.
