Description
I tried importing a Terminals XML file in to mRemoteNG, but keep getting errors about the format of the file:
InformationMsg 1/18/2017 3:17:17 PM You cannot import a normal connection file. Please use File - Load Connections for normal connection files!
WarningMsg 1/18/2017 3:17:17 PM You are trying to load a connection file that was created using an very early version of mRemote, this could result in an runtime error. If you run into such an error, please create a new connection file!
Since the XML wasn't generated by mRemoteNG it can't import it, but it should since the formatting is basically identical.

Reproduce the Terminals XML import failure and inspect the existing import handling that emits the reported InformationMsg and WarningMsg messages. Compare the Terminals XML structure with the format currently accepted by mRemoteNG, then define completion as successfully importing a representative Terminals XML file without those format errors.
