Import tool for Schema Registry schemas

Schemas stored in Schema Registry can be exported to a JSON file. The exported JSON file can then be imported into another Schema Registry database. During an import, SchemaMetadata, SchemaBranch, and SchemaVersion objects are put into the database. These objects retain their ID as well as a number of other properties that are available in the JSON file used for import. This way, serializing and deserializing protocols can continue to function without any change and Schema Registry clients can seamlessly switch between different Schema Registry instances. Both import and export operations are done using the Schema Registry API.
