Description

Recently Google added a new scope for CustomDimension`item`, this scope is not supported in Matomo yet as we have only 2 types of scope `action` and `visit`, we an map this scope as `action` but there is a bug in core https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/issues/19351 where action level custom dimensions are not reported correctly, we should wait for core to fix this first and accordingly add this new scope for GA4 imports

Research direction

Start by reviewing the GA4 import handling for CustomDimension scopes and the linked Matomo core issue 19351. Wait for the core action-level reporting fix, then add support for the `item` scope and verify that GA4 item-scoped custom dimensions import and report correctly.
