1. "    Add 'Already Exists in Setup' column to import entity dialog: 
       Run multiple queries for get_entity_by_id to check whether the 
imported entities exist in the setup. "

what if there are 1000 VMs to import?

2. "Add 'clone only existing entities' check box to Import Entity Dialog: "

I'd keep simple for first round to get feedback from users and assume 
users want to either clone or not during import, rather than mixed 
(i.e., i'd drop this option to clone some of the imported images - i 
think it is confusing)

which means maybe user should choose between importing already existing 
images or new ones.

for existing ones, user should choose if to clone or overwrite.
