📄 Description

For this issue: https://github.com/ollama-webui/ollama-webui/issues/337

Enable imports of ChatGPT histories (conversations.json), and ability to choose a new model upon import.

Added several functions to src/lib/utils/index.ts that are used at import before sending to createNewChat api
a) Identify if import is a chatGPT one or Ollama-webui one (as they are very different)
b) Parses and iterates through the chatGPT json to match the ollama-webui chat structure
Make sure new chats work with existing code
a) Adjusted the "disabled" tag to let you choose what model to use for new chat
b) Add one more check when message is sent that saves selectedModel when current saved model is different
- With imported models, messages already exist but no model exists! so need to update. or if you import chats using models that you don't have (i.e. 'gpt-3.5-turbo')

** Note **: When we import from ChatGPT, we don't default to a model so users aren't forced to use chatgpt
Does not import context (i.e. pdf RAG) info from GPT chats.
