docs: migration guides for beehiiv, Substack and Mailchimp - #98

Conversation
A "Migrate to SendLit" section: an overview with the steps and a pre-switch checklist, and one page per tool with its export steps and status mapping. Linked from getting started, the contacts docs and the import dialog. The importer now asks for the status of everyone in a file that has no status column, and suggests it from Mailchimp's per-status file names, so importing Mailchimp's unsubscribed or cleaned file no longer subscribes those contacts. Mailchimp's quoted TAGS are unquoted, and "deactivated" maps to unsubscribed. Closes #68
