This is step 2 of [#113]

We import a full Trello board (with its title, color, labels, lists, cards, and comments), including all archived items (lists and cards).

Limitations (may be fixed in future PRs, depending on actual needs):

card members are removed
Trello activity history ('card created on xxx') is lost
attachments are not transferred

PS: also did the following "technical stuff"

moved all import code (including card import) into its own UI component
in activities.jade, sorted event display code in alphabetical order to be easier to know where to add new events

At a first glance the code (and its commit history) looks very good, I’m super happy to review that and get it merged in core, thank you :-)

On a side note do you think something like https://github.com/gaearon/normalizr would be useful (for instance to import all the members at once)?

Hey, I did not know about normalizr, thanks for pointing it out.

(...looking into it...)

Trello json is actually already normalized: lists, labels, members, cards are all listed at root level then only referenced by ID. I only have to build an id index, which is pretty straightforward, so I think normalizr would be overkill. But it's a good one for future imports that would not be presented as well...

Ok, makes sense.

Updates the comments to be clearer, handles "team" permission (mapping to Wekan "private"), and a big refactor to share most code with card import.

I have a bug when importing old boards (in my case 2013). From my investigations the cause seems to be that Trello didn’t have a createList action back at the time — which raise an error because the createdAt date of the list is then undefined.

I fixed this issue by providing a default date.

This is now merged in devel. Thank you very much once again!
