SIS Import Errors API

A SisImportError object looks like:

{
  // The unique identifier for the SIS import.
  "sis_import_id": 1,
  // The file where the error message occurred.
  "file": "courses.csv",
  // The error message that from the record.
  "message": "No short_name given for course C001",
  // The contents of the line that had the error.
  "row_info": "account_1, Sub account 1,, active ",
  // The line number where the error occurred. Some Importers do not yet support
  // this. This is a 1 based index starting with the header row.
  "row": 34
}
