[Improvement]: Update Documentation - import of variants

[MLindenhofer]

Improvement description

Hi there,

I'm very happy that it's possible to import variants with data-importer now but there is no guidance in the documentation on how the data has to be provided to get imported correctly or better what settings are necessary (array, string / transformation pipleline / other...). Can you please update the documentation with some helpful information on that topic.

There is also a unanswered post in the community-discussion #pimcore/pimcore#10727. So I think others would appreciate it too :)

Best regards and thanks in advance.

@MLindenhofer sorry, not yet. We are trying to get everything going for Pimcore 11 first. But I added this topic to my to do list, hopefully I can get it done during the coming holidays.

@mcop1 any guidance
I keep hitting into this line
if ($this->getParentId() == $this->getId()) {
throw new \Exception("ParentID and ID is identical, an element can't be the parent of itself.");
}

I var dumped both $this->getParentId() and $this->getId() and notice they are both null values, so condition is met
