 Pull the list of popular importers from WordPress.org.

 These are the importers we suggest on import.php, prompting the user to
 install the relevant plugin for the import they want to go through.

 If the API is inaccessible, it falls back to a hard-coded list that should
 be kept sync'd with the API with each major version of WordPress. This API
 enables us to add new importers between releases, as they are completed or
 if services gain quick adoption. As a last resort, we can also temporarily
 disable importers that are broken (due to API changes, for example).

 The importer currently returns English strings (which are then run through
 translate() for existing strings), but the locale is passed to the API,
 allowing us to ship translated strings if we wish to be adventurous.

 props dllh for the assist.
 fixes #18977.
