Epic: #7

As a seller,
I want the import to handle minor formatting differences in my CSV,
so that I don't have to clean up the file before importing.

Blocked by: STORY-5.1 (Upload a Seller Hub CSV)

Acceptance criteria:

Import handles extra/unknown columns without failing
Import handles different column orders (via column mapping)
Import handles different delimiters (comma, semicolon, tab) where feasible
Import handles quoted fields containing commas or newlines
Import handles Windows (CRLF) and Unix (LF) line endings

Subtasks:

Implement auto-detection of CSV delimiter (comma, semicolon, tab)
Handle quoted fields containing commas or embedded newlines
Normalise CRLF and LF line endings before parsing
Ignore extra/unknown columns gracefully without failing the import
Write automated tests (unit: parser with varied delimiter, encoding, and quoting fixture files)
Write/update documentation
