fix: payload too large error and add migration logging

- Add express.urlencoded({ limit: '5mb' }) to migration POST route
  to handle large CSV files (default 100KB was too small)
- Add per-handle progress logging to console for monitoring imports
- Log failed handles with reasons (WebFinger failure, no AP link, etc.)
- Show failed handles in the UI result notification
- Use error notification type when all imports fail
