Import crashes due to name clash between default labels and imported labels

[Ident]

We use a label called "documentation" but github repos by default contain a "Documentation" label.

This lead to a crash when an issue with a "documentation" label on bitbucket was attempted to be imported. It took me a long time to debug this but now I just figured it out and remove the default labels and the import works!

Imo the importer should delete all pre-existing labels before starting, if this is possible through the API, just to prevent these unforseeable collisions because it can happen otherwise with a fresh repo and that is something I consider rather unexpected as a user.

For reference, here is the crash log with trace:

I hesitate to delete pre-existing labels. I'd rather we catch the error of conflicting labels and notify the user with a clear error message. Then the user can either delete the offending label in github, or modify the script to rename the conflicting bitbucket label during import.
