Model import feature missing

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I am frustrated by the overall experience with model import (and export). overall the lack of a model import feature even for .yml files seems to be missing, there is an export but no import, no ying for the yang! But also older .bin models from opentx days (I had to load up an older version of edgetx companion to do the conversion which was not at all straightforward as someone coming back to the hobby after a long break).

There is a Export model (export to .yml) as a file (which is really just copying the existing modelxx.yml file out(?)), but lack of "import model" that naturally follows having an model export menu item is odd and feels incomplete.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add in import model menu to the Models menu item, right next to Export. Allow both current .yml model file imports as well as older .otx or .bin specifically. I realise this opens up the pain of handling switch assignments etc between different TXs, but I feel this feature would really obviate the pain of sharing around model files and save a lot of time with setups etc.

Describe alternatives you've considered

manually copying the .yml file in, manually setting up the model based on set of instructions. Using LLMs for yml crafting/updates.
