Prevent GitHub Import to continue running workers when import fails

What does this MR do and why?

Check if the import process is no longer in progress and halt the workers to prevent them from running.

To provide some context, the workers were previously only stopping when the import state was canceled. However, it is also necessary to halt operations if the import state is in other final states such as failed or finished. This is because the workers should not perform any actions in these states.

  2. Go to new project

  3. Select import project

  4. Select GitHub

  5. Provide an access token

  8. In Sidekiq dashboard, check if all workers related to GitHub Import stopped being re-enqueued

Note: Using the GitHub Import API, it's possible to import public repositories.

curl --location 'http://gdk.test:3000/api/v4/import/github' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
--data '{
    "personal_access_token": "GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN",
    "repo_id": "238983", // rspec-rails repo id
    "target_namespace": "root",
    "new_name": "rspec-rails"
}'
