Updated the conditions for when waitForMasterVariant is applied on Product imports

HTTP API

Enhancement

ImportProduct catalog

The Import API now assigns the waitForMasterVariant ProcessingState only when both of the following conditions are met:

The imported Product does not include Master Variant data.
The referenced Product Type contains required Variant Attributes.

If the Product Type does not define required Variant Attributes, Product imports (including re-imports of existing Products) proceed without entering waitForMasterVariant.

This change affects Product import processing only. Existing import operations are not re-evaluated automatically; the new behavior applies to new Product imports and re-imports.

Changes:

[Import API] Updated waitForMasterVariant handling for Product imports to depend on required Variant Attributes on the Product Type.
