Description

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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing import functionality (e.g., from Trello) and design a CSV parser that maps columns to board fields. Implement a file upload UI and backend endpoint to handle CSV import.
