Calling `bbs2gh migrate-repo` with `--bbs-server-url` but without `--bbs-project` and/or `--bbs-repo` can start an export of multiple repos

See original GitHub issue

Description

Calling gh bbs2gh migrate-repo with a --bbs-server-url but without a --bbs-project and/or --bbs-repo causes an export to start on the Bitbucket Server including multiple repos.

If you specify neither bbs-project nor bbs-repo, an archive will be gneerated including all repos on the server.
If you specify a bbs-project but not a bbs-repo, all repos inside the specific project will be exported.

This isn’t very helpful - GEI only supports importing a single repo, and creating such a large export can be dangerous for a Bitbucket Server instance, consuming resources until the disk becomes full.

We should validate that a --bbs-project and --bbs-repo is always provided.

Reproduction Steps

gh bbs2gh migrate-repo --bbs-server-url https://timrogers-bitbucket.expert-services.io --ssh-user
 timrogers --ssh-private-key ~/.ssh/bbs --verbose

gh bbs2gh migrate-repo --bbs-server-url https://timrogers-bitbucket.expert-services.io --ssh-user timrogers --ssh-private-key ~/.ssh/bbs --verbose --bbs-project OS

No need to drop everything, but this can be the next thing on the BBS backlog ❤️

I do think we should raise an error.

Allowing people to export everything doesn’t make sense because we only support single repos on the import side (as far as I know anyway!).

Even if we did want to support this flow, I don’t think it should be the default as it can be quite dangerous for the BBS instance if you export everything!

What do you think?
