collections: allow a collection to be set/mapped from a spreadsheet

[josephjclark]

I want to:

• define a bunch of mappings in a spreadsheet (XLS or gsheets)
• Pull those mappings into the CLI
• Upload them into a collection

This feels like it's something the CLI is very capable of doing.

If the sheet just has two columns, we can just pull them as key/value pairs. Otherwise we need to take a range (or I suppose two columns). We may need to know whether the first two rows are a header and can be ignored (although it's probably harmless to include a header in the map - it's just one redundant key)

The mapping should be a single JSON object uploaded as a key to a single value

So the CLI command is like:

openfn collections set my-collection my-key --items pathOrUrlToSheet

Maybe we need extra CLI args for "parse items as spreadsheet" or "choose this range" or "ignore headers".

I'd love some help with this and it's a nice stand-alone challenge - but the spec is super rough right now and there are no links to docs to get a new dev started. If you're reading this and you'd like to help, this is a great little project. Please tag me here and I'll help you get going!
