Short description: importing a file with a xmp keywords with "|" separator creates the corresponding DB hierarchy but set the photoonly with the last item of the hierarchy (even if 'automatically apply parent keywords' option is set).

Effect: filtering on a category don't show the files of the categories children of the selected one.

To reproduce:
1. set 'automatically apply parent keywords'
2. import a file test with dc:subject[1] = Lieux|France|Auvergne Rhône-Alpes|38112 Méaudre|lieu indéfini (see file attached)
3. open the filter categories panel
4. select a parent category such as 'France' or 'Auvergne Rhône-Alpes'

Actual behaviour (bug): none file is shown

Expected behaviour: file test should be shown (at least if 'automatically apply parent keywords' option is set)

It is the same behaviour importing hierarchical tags such as lr:hierarchicalSubject[].

May be it is not really a bug but a missing feature : automatically set parent keywords to hierarchical imported keywords.

currently 'automatically apply parent keywords' setting is only for category view pane, not importing
