[Feature]: Bulk importing data sources #34842

Is there an existing issue for this?

Summary

Add support for bulk importing data sources via a UI wizard and uploading a file (JSON/CSV) containing the data source configuration

Why should this be worked on?

When starting work with AppSmith, you need to create data sources for each database. In a legacy environment, this could include dozens of separate database. And you need to enter the details of each one manually, which is slow and very error prone.

Can I get a loom recording video or steps to reproduce this? I need additional details about where this should be implemented with related screenshots

My applications need to connect to ~50 different databases, deployed on different servers and data centers. The new data source wizard only allows you to add them one at a time. I suggest adding a drop-down menu under the '+' button, which allows you to choose whether to use the wizard, or to import a CSV file containing all of the required details for all data sources.

@barakm we'll look into this when we picking up #32298
