Updating docs to make it clear password does not work for imports

Max Fan requested to merge update-jira-import-docs-with-access-token into master

What does this MR do and why?

Using import issues from Jira doesn't work if the extension is setup using username and password. It returns a forbidden error from Jira's side.

To use this functionality, we need to set this up using an access token
