Description

The importer expects `NULL` values to be represented by an "empty value" (I did not test what happens with a quoted empty string).

Common representation for these values are also `NULL`, `\N` (postgres default).

Postico should have an option for specifying the `NULL` value representation.

Research direction

Start by locating Postico's CSV import entry point and the existing handling for empty values. Confirm how NULL, an empty value, and PostgreSQL's \N representation are currently interpreted; done means the importer offers a selectable NULL representation and preserves the chosen behavior during import.
