Import: Set bookmark visibility during import

Right now the imported bookmarks are all public. It should be an option to decide which visibility setting they have.

It can default to the default organization setting (see issue #82) but should be able to be something the user can set during import.

HTML links are all public by default.

Pinboard will take the export permission. Currently if a pinboard bookmark is private and the user is a free account, it will set the link as restricted so it can be revived when/if the user upgrades to a paid plan.

I feel like users will be uncomfortable importing all bookmarks with defaulting to public. Need to think through the best way to offer the option to default to private and deal with restricted links for free accounts. I think the option only applies to browser (HTML) imports because Pinboard already has the setting in the json dump.
