vmctl: improve logging during import cancels/errors (#2006)

On import process interruption `vmctl` now prints the max and min timestamps of:
* last failed batch if import ended with error;
* last sent batch if import was cancelled by user.

To get more details for each timeseries in batch user needs to specify `--verbose` flag.

The change does not relate to `vm-native` mode, since `vmctl` has no control over
transferred data in this mode.
