Import: bring a HAR file's entries into history
Closes the interop loop HAR export opened - traffic can now move both directions between mitmux and any other HAR-producing tool (browser DevTools, Burp, Postman), not just out. cmd/mitmux/har.go: rawRequestFromHAR/rawResponseFromHAR reconstruct HTTP/1.1 wire bytes from HAR's structured fields - the mirror image of harEntryFromDetail on the export side. Deliberately tolerant of a HAR file that didn't come from mitmux at all: lowercase header names, "HTTP/2" in httpVersion, missing optional fields like postData, a redirectURL nobody filled in. Content-Encoding and Transfer-Encoding headers are stripped from the reconstructed response before writing it - HAR's content.text is already decoded per spec, so re-emitting those headers would describe framing the body no longer has and break any client that tried to decode it again - and a Content-Length is computed if the HAR didn't carry a consistent one. importEntriesFromHAR converts a whole document, skipping (not failing on) any entry that fails to convert, same reasoning as export's own skip-and-continue for a malformed capture. Imported entries are always request_exact=false/response_exact=false: reconstructed from structured HAR fields, the same situation an HTTP/2 capture is already in, never claiming to be the literal bytes that were actually on the wire for the original request. internal/ipc: ImportEntry (the slim shape the client sends - the daemon just stores what it's given, all HAR parsing happens client-side) and an "import" request type; Client.Import returns how many entries were actually inserted, a per-entry store failure is skipped rather than aborting the batch. Server-side, imported entries are tagged source="import" so source:import finds them in search, same as source:repeater/source:intruder already work. TUI: 'I' from the history list prompts for a HAR path (same modal pattern as export, in reverse - reading instead of writing), then reloads the list and status once the import completes. Verified live: exported real captured traffic to HAR, cleared history entirely, imported the same file back and got both entries with correct content (byte-different after the round trip - headers get reordered/reformatted - but semantically identical, correctly labeled "reconstructed" rather than falsely "exact"); hand-built a HAR mimicking a real Chrome DevTools export (lowercase headers, HTTP/2, a base64- encoded binary PNG body, several optional fields omitted) and confirmed it imports cleanly with the binary body decoded correctly (PNG magic bytes verified byte-for-byte); confirmed a missing file and invalid JSON both fail with a clear error and no crash, history left untouched. go build/vet/gofmt/test/mod tidy all clean.

+### Import
+
+`I` from the history list reads a HAR file and inserts its entries into
+history, tagged `source:import` so they're easy to find or filter out
+later (`source:import` in search). Works with a HAR from mitmux itself
+or from anywhere else that produces one - Chrome/Firefox DevTools, Burp,
+Postman. An entry that fails to convert is skipped rather than aborting
+the whole import; the status line reports how many, if any. Imported
+entries are always shown as "reconstructed" (never "exact") - they're
+rebuilt from HAR's structured fields, not the literal bytes that were
+actually on the wire for the original request, same situation an
+HTTP/2 capture is already in.
