This allows previewing imported transactions ahead of importing. This is useful for import scripts like https://github.com/lunchflow/actual-flow, where the users will preview the transactions ahead of the import then confirm.

The name isPreview wasn't very self explanatory, so I'm proposing dryRun, similar to what's used in AWS CLI (example), but open to feedback on this 😄 I also didn't rename across the board to keep the PR focused, but happy to do so as well.
