Fixes #3292.

Problem

API POST /bulk_imports/:id/cancel documented at https://docs.gitlab.com/api/bulk_imports/#cancel-a-migration was missing in BulkImport model (gitlab/v4/objects/bulk_imports.py:17). No way to cancel a migration via python-gitlab.

Solution

• gitlab/v4/objects/bulk_imports.py:1-39 — add imports typing.Any, requests, gitlab.cli, gitlab.exceptions, and new method:

@cli.register_custom_action(cls_names="BulkImport")
@exc.on_http_error(exc.GitlabCancelError)
def cancel(self, **kwargs: Any) -> dict[str, Any] | requests.Response:
    path = f"{self.manager.path}/{self.encoded_id}/cancel"
    return self.manager.gitlab.http_post(path, **kwargs)

Mirrors ProjectPipeline.cancel (gitlab/v4/objects/pipelines.py:67-80), single file, 15 lines, no cross-folder changes. Uses existing GitlabCancelError (no new exception).

Verification (folder-local only, no global installs)

• Cloned to C:\Users\Azelf\AppData\Local\Temp\opencode\python-gitlab-fix, python -m venv .venv, pip install -e . (folder-local), pip install responses pytest
• Existing tests still pass: pytest tests/unit/objects/test_bulk_imports.py -v → 6 passed
• New behavior:

import responses; from gitlab import Gitlab
gl = Gitlab('http://localhost', private_token='test')
with responses.RequestsMock() as rsps:
    rsps.add(GET, "http://localhost/api/v4/bulk_imports/1", json={"id":1}, status=200)
    rsps.add(POST, "http://localhost/api/v4/bulk_imports/1/cancel", json={"id":1,"status":"finished"}, status=200)
    m = gl.bulk_imports.get(1); assert m.cancel()["status"]=="finished"

• BulkImport.cancel exists, CLI bulk-import cancel registered.
