Updating imported Component Configuration results in 404 error

[iripiri]

Importing and updating a component config between two deployments does not work for the following reasons:

• the IC ID of the original instance gets stored in the export file
• the export file can be uploaded/imported in a different deployment without error although the IC ID doesn't exist
• updating the imported config, the original IC isn't found ("Record not Found in DB: type record not found") - this can happen easily when the original deployment has more ICs than the newer one

Resulting TODOs:

• on import, the IC ID should get checked. Either
  1. return an error
  2. store the component config without IC ID
  3. make the issue known/manageable to the user in the frontend
• make the update method check only the new IC ID? (does it matter for some reason that the old one isn't found at this point?)
• consider whether it makes sense to not export the IC ID
• create frontend issue(s) accordingly

Update: the import file needs to have an IC ID which exists in the new deployment, omitting the ID does not work
