Add support for importing an exported playlist #130

According to the docs

it's also pretty straightforward to re-import them into Spotify. Open up the CSV file in Excel, for example, select and copy the spotify:track:xxx URIs, then simply create a playlist in Spotify and paste them in.

Assuming Spotfiy's API supports creating playlists, it should be possible to automate this.

I'm afraid although I did add that as a small tip to the docs, importing is outside the scope of this project. If nothing else it would cause big problems for its name.

It seems fairly pointless to export data unless there's also a means of importing it. Whoever heard of a backup tool without a corresponding restore tool?

Projects often grow beyond the scope of their original name, I wouldn't get too hung up about it. if you really feel that strongly about it, you could always rename the project/repo or port the import functionality in a separate repo.

If I were to submit a PR with the import functionality, would you be willing to merge it assuming you're satisfied with the code qualify, test coverage, etc?

this would be immensely useful. Importing all the exported playlists/songs data would really make this feature pair made in heaven, imo. 😜
