arnav-hiwarkar 9e58108288 #3103: import dropped and picked After Effects projects; name the project imports alike
Dropping an .aep or .aepx on the window, or picking one in File > Import > File...
or Multiple Files... (also from the Home screen and the Project panel), imports it
as File > Import > Adobe After Effects Project... does, instead of failing as
unsupported footage: the losses prompt first when parts cannot come over, its
items in a folder named after the file, its first composition open.

- Several projects are asked about one at a time: the others wait in the
  prompt's queue, and Cancel skips only the one it asks about. A prompt another
  dialog replaced (Save changes?) strands nothing: its projects are tried with
  the next import or queued behind the next prompt.
- The other files of a drop or pick import as footage, into the Project panel
  only when a project is in the drop. While the prompt shows, a Photoshop file
  or image sequence imports with its defaults instead of replacing the prompt,
  an Interpret Footage question leaves a note instead, and a dropped .ecproj is
  skipped with a note. While Save changes? waits for a dropped .ecproj, the rest
  of the drop is skipped with a note instead of landing in the replaced project.
- Errors of every picked project reach the status line on both the blocking and
  the non-blocking file dialog.
- The Import File dialogs list .aep, .aepx, .ecproj and .ecprojx; Replace
  Footage offers footage only.
- For scripts and agents, file.import hands After Effects projects to
  file.importAep; a refusal (new EngineError::Refused) names the menu entry and
  `file.importAep` with `allowLosses`.
- File > Import / Export name the entry Adobe After Effects Project..., as
  Adobe Premiere Pro Project...; File > Import keeps After Effects' order with
  the project imports together and the formats only EffectCraft imports after a
  separator. All 13 menu catalogs and the losses dialog title are updated.
- Docs: aep-import, aep-export, footage, file-format-parity, agents.
