[Imports] Buildings import (DRC & Uganda)

[Claire Halleux]

Hi Rory,

In case you'd like downloading the data samples outside the tasking
manager, you'll have access to 2 files through the links [1] and [2] listed
on the wikipage.

Three of the 4 tasks marked as done in project 8720 were marked as so
because they didn't include any building to be imported (I still need to
fine tune the task creation process to avoid such empty tasks). The last
one was marked as done by a local mapper trying out the workflow. All
participants to the task trials have been informed that any unexpected
uploads would be reverted until the discussion on lists is over.

There are currently wider efforts on open algorithms to generate such
building footprints. However since these ones have been extracted through
proprietary algorithms, the code used isn't accessible.
