Native API: Import ddi dataset example needs a sample ddi file like the json example has.

Have tried using the ddi export of an existing dataset from another system but it fails with a seemingly false error about missing subject, like it is failing parsing and subject just happens to be where it exits?

curl -H X-Dataverse-key:xxxx-xxxx-xxxx -X POST "http://localhost:8080/api/dataverses/root/datasets/:importddi?pid=doi:10.70122/FK2/LG1AGZ&release=yes" --upload-file ddi_dataset4.xml
{"status":"ERROR","message":"Validation Failed: Subject is required. (Invalid value:edu.harvard.iq.dataverse.DatasetField[ id=null ])."}

I just found https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/files/1920577/custom_ddi.txt via #4593 but I haven't tried it myself.

@pdurbin It didn't work for me

As mentioned in #8210 "import DDI" doesn't currently work (as of Dataverse 5.9) but after hacking on the code (not a real fix) I was able to import src/test/java/edu/harvard/iq/dataverse/export/ddi/exportfull.xml.

So I think we should consider that file a candidate for the sample file for the API Guide.

Here's a handy link: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/v5.9/src/test/java/edu/harvard/iq/dataverse/export/ddi/exportfull.xml

Pull request #8483 adds a sample DDI file.
