Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Users coming from WordPress most likely would like to import their posts, post types, and media uploads.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
A side bar item labeled: "Import". Import page allows you to select import source, ie: WordPress json endpoint and allow an assign function to ETL into Beacon.

**Additional context**
Originally was thinking of having import sources listed like: WordPress, Jekyll, etc, but I think simply putting a URL and using assigns function might be an elegant scalable solution.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by mapping the existing CMS content and media models, navigation, and any external API or ETL entry points. Done would require a defined import source and mapping flow, an Import sidebar item and page, and verified importing of posts, post types, and media.
