When importing to Vaultwarden (or Bitwarden) notes larger then 10_000 encrypted characters are invalid. This because it for one isn't compatible with Bitwarden. And some clients tend to break on very large notes.

We already added a check for this limit when adding a single cipher, but this caused issues during import, and could cause a partial imported vault. Bitwarden does some validations before actually running it through the import process and generates a special error message which helps the user indicate which items are invalid during the import.

This PR adds that validation check and returns the same kind of error. Fixes #3048
