## Description

At the moment we don’t have an explicit version check. This makes it unclear for the user what we support and what we don’t support. For example Jira Server 9 actually works right now whereas Jira Server 8 does not. For both cases the import can be started though.

Please implement a dedicated version check that shows to the user if they use one of the supported versions.

If a version is encountered that we do not support or if the version cannot be determined, show a „Proceed at your own risk“ message and have the user continue anyway.

Additionally, we should ensure that basic auth instead of PAT is used in case Jira Server 8 is used.

Update all documentation afterwards regarding supported versions.
