Import using System ID

[jonmifsud]

Should be a good start to fixing #19 supports both creating new entries and updating existing.

We might need an option to only update existing if I understand #19 properly. I've tested this on a number of imports and updates with different sections, I don't seem to have any problems so far.

It's important to note that using the Entry ID for imports/updates it will override any other setting that one sets for unique, and the entry id will be the only unique variable used for the import.

@brendo / @nilshoerrmann This is also included within #42 - however can be tested and merged separately.

I just checked this and it seems to work fine – thanks a lot, Jonathan!

From a UI point of view, I'd also add an is unique toggle to the entry id field. The other toggles could just be deactivated using JavaScript, and a note Update entries based on their id could replace the checkbox label Can update existing entries at the bottom of the form. What do you think?

Thanks for checking it out. UI wise makes sense I think. The U.S. Unique
for entry id would be forced right? Not an optional

That's what I meant by saying "deactive the others using JavaScript".
