Include Project Boards (Issue Boards) in GitHub import

Problem to solve

Currently, Project Boards (Issue Boards in GitLab) are not being imported with a GitHub import. Importing a project from GitHub creates an experience where the customized project boards are replaced by the default Issue Board in GitLab that contains only Open and Closed columns.

Proposed solution

When importing a GitHub project into GitLab, include all project boards that exist in the GitHub project in the import and convert them to GitLab Issue Boards.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

After importing projects from GitHub to GitLab, the user can see all of their GitHub project boards as issue boards in GitLab.

Technical details

Need to research further if this GitHub API documentation can be used to get Project Boards.
