$import & /fhir/$import

$import is an implementation of the upcoming FHIR Bulk Import API. This is an async Operation, which returns url to monitor progress. 
Keep in mind that $import does not validate inserted resources for the sake of performance. Pay attention to the structure of data you insert and use the correct URL for your data format, i.e.: use /fhir prefix for FHIR data.
Please consider using Asynchronous validation API to validate data after $import

With this flag Aidbox will update history for updated resources.
