Bug Description
Some Trac instances don't allow the exports of individual bugs in CSV format, either due to age or because the owner of the Trac instance has disabled this functionality. At present these instances cause the Trac status import code to fail because it can't extract a status from the remote tracker, though this only happens when the bug tracker has few er bug watches needing to be checked than would trigger the batch status import code.
In order to fix this the Trac status import code needs to be able to detect these Trac instances and act appropriately. Since most of them still export the status field when returning all of their bugs as a CSV (as opposed to just one at a time), the status import code can use its batch import code to retrieve bugs from these trackers instead of its
one-bug-at-a-time code.
There are other Trac instances which do not export bugs as a CSV at all. The status import code must deal with these, too.

The problem occurs because some Tracs do not behave properly when failing to export individual bugs in CSV format.
Ordinarily, a Trac instance which doesn't support CSV exports would return an HTTP 500 error when a request to a URL of the form /ticket/
However, the Tracs that were causing the import code to fail (http://
