Link to project import rake task and the API for project import status

Ben Prescott_ requested to merge docs-bprescott-importadmin-20200608 into master

What does this MR do?

The project import rake task is in our development documentation, on a page that details how to set up the gitlab repository when developing.

This might not be the right place, but in the mean time, it's very useful for administrators of self-managed instances. It's likely to be useful for both zd158993 and zd158866 (internal links) and the information potentially exposed by the API is also very useful.

I've put it on the main import/export page because I think it's useful anyone doing project imports.

There's a separate admin page for project import: it means duplicating it, but if someone's on the admin page, then this information is almost certainly relevant, and as far as I can see, more broadly useful than the two rake tasks that are currently on the admin page.

I've got three import related MRs open:

  • Review by a code reviewer or other selected colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.

2. Technical Writer

  • Optional: Technical writer review. If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request for this MR, assign the writer listed for the applicable DevOps stage.
