Refine the consistency of Product import actions #241

[tdruez]

UI

• Updated the label of the following Product actions. The labels were updated everywhere in the UI (page title, documentation, import log, etc...) for consistency:
  • Import data from Scan -> Import ScanCode scan results
  • Load Packages from SBOMs -> Import SBOM
  • Import Packages from manifests -> Import Package manifests
  • Pull ScanCode.io Project data -> Import ScanCode.io project
• Improve the rendering and layout of the Import related forms for consistency, simplicity, and readability.

Input validation

• Import ScanCode scan results:

  • Only accepts .json file extension.
  • Validate the content is a ScanCode output and raise a "The uploaded file is not a proper ScanCode output results." for error.

• Import SBOM:

  • Only accepts .json, .ABOUT, and .zip file extensions.
  • When a json file is provided, check if the content is a "ScanCode output" and raise a "Your file appears to be a ScanCode scan results." error.

Note: While we could enforce stricter validation on SBOM inputs in DejaCode (e.g., requiring valid CycloneDX or SPDX formats), I don’t believe this would be beneficial. In practice, we frequently encounter invalid SBOMs on the ScanCode.io side and have made efforts to support them regardless. Enforcing strict validation in DejaCode while ScanCode.io remains flexible could lead to frustration. For an examples, see aboutcode-org/scancode.io#1185 aboutcode-org/scancode.io#1249 aboutcode-org/scancode.io#1515

@tdruez the improved UI and messages look great on Staging Starship. One thing that I had not noticed before: we create an Imports tab for SBOM but not for scan results. Is it possible/practical to show the scan results on the Imports tab as well?

The "Import ScanCode scan results" is now also logged in the "Import" tab.

@tdruez improved Imports tab confirmed on Staging Starship -- a very nice enhancement, thanks!
