Closes: #10992

Description

This PR attempts to address Issue #10992 by adding an "Import Settings" link to the welcome landing screen.

Implementation Details:

Added a new VSCodeLink component to the landing screen (WelcomeViewProvider.tsx)
The link triggers the existing importSettings message handler: vscode.postMessage({ type: "importSettings" })
Uses the existing translation key welcome:importSettings which is already available in the locales
Placed below the main CTA buttons as a secondary action to maintain visual hierarchy

Benefits:

Minimal code change (8 lines added)
Reuses existing import infrastructure and translations
Does not disrupt the existing welcome flow for new users
Addresses both use cases: individual migrations and enterprise standardization

Test Procedure

Install the extension on a fresh VS Code setup (or clear existing Roo Code settings)
Open VS Code and trigger the Roo Code extension
Verify the welcome landing screen shows the "Import Settings" link below the main action buttons
Click the "Import Settings" link
Verify the file picker opens allowing you to select a settings file
Select a valid settings file and verify the import works correctly
