Resolve "Import from GitLab.com fails (destination already exists and is not an empty directory error)."
requested to merge 42327-import-from-gitlab-com-fails-destination-already-exists-and-is-not-an-empty-directory-error into master
What does this MR do?
Avoids retrying Import/Export jobs until https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/26189 is fixed. Retrying doesn't work and was hiding the original error (as subsequent retries will fail with a different one).
import_error contains only the last attempt error message, making it difficult to debug issues using the Import/Export.
This also fixes an issue importing certain services https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/42327#note_56135663 that was disguised because of the retry mechanism not working.
