We're currently thinking for v2024.1 that Frontend will parse the uploaded CSV, then send an array of entity objects to Backend (in JSON). Backend should then create those entities in bulk (in a single transaction). Frontend will also pass the name of the uploaded CSV file. This approach will allow API integrations to create entities in bulk in various ways (not just via CSV).

This bulk-create endpoint is needed for #589.

Frontend will also pass the name of the uploaded CSV file.

What other metadata about the file should Frontend pass to Backend? Maybe the size of the file?
