E.g. CSV list of email,displayname to add many (at another place exported) participants easily

1. We do not currently have an API option for bulk adding of participants to reuse here (and during conversation creation).
2. Javascript should be able to generate CSV file for import/export, but if it's preferred to done on backend, also fine by me

Frontend:

Design note:

Participants setup dialog from conversation creation can be reused (to be called from Right Sidebar):

• Import option in three-dot-menu next to the searchbar (combined with dialpad button or separately?)
• Export option in the dialog footer (or also in three-dot menu?)

but if it's preferred to done on backend

The target usecase is events with up to 2k participants. I don't think we should send 2k add-participants requests for that 🙈

The export is most likely from another product, not from another chat/conversation in first place.
So not sure this makes sense to combine UI wise. Export needs to happen during/after a call/meeting.

The numberpad in the rightsidebar could be replaced with … allowing a menu with "Dial phonenumber" and "Import email participant list"

Email importing should also exist on creation and in the conversation settings (meeting section or the "resend invitations" button)

Done for now
