CSV Import

[GT-I9070 H]

One more critical info:

In gnucash-2.6.99-2017-04-18-git-b2b32e2+-setup.exe if just opening and
saving you destroy the data file.
When we tried to reopen it, we received the message "There was an error
parsing the file".

Thus, there is no way to finalize the importer's test.
