[META] farmOS 2.x Importers

Problem/Motivation

farmOS 1.x provides CSV importers for all asset and log types. These are constructed with the Feeds → module.

The ability to import CSVs into farmOS is a very useful and popular feature, as a lot of farmers are accustomed to record keeping in spreadsheet already.

Feeds currently has an alpha release for Drupal 8/9. But there are also some new alternatives we can investigate, based on the Migrate API. Using Migrate API would have some benefits, since we will already be working with it in #3151240: [META] farmOS 2.x Migration → , and it is included in Drupal core.

The key requirement here, and the ultimate deciding factor, will be user experience. Many of the "import" options for Drupal are built with the assumption that they will be used by a site administrator. In farmOS, CSV imports are something that non-administrators can also use. This means we need an importer UI that is easy to use. Feeds wasn't perfect, in this regard, but it worked. I'm curious to see if we can make Migrate API fit these needs.
