Importing cURL with form-data payload drops file params and values containing @

Describe the bug

Importing a cURL command with a form-data payload does not carry the form params over into the request body.

Postman generates form-data cURL commands with every --form value quoted, e.g. name="John" and file=@"/path/to/file.txt". After importing such a command in Bruno:

• file params are lost (they are saved as an empty @file())
• text params whose value contains an @ (e.g. an email address) are treated as file params and lost as well

The expected result is a Multipart Form body listing every text param with its value and every file param with its path.

Steps to reproduce

1. In Postman, create a request with a form-data body containing a text field, a text field with an email value, and a file field, then copy it as cURL:

curl --location 'https://example.com/upload' \
--form 'name="John"' \
--form 'email="[email protected]"' \
--form 'file=@"/path/to/file.txt"'

1. In Bruno, create a new request → From cURL, paste the command and create it.
2. Open the Body tab of the new request.
3. The email and file params are missing their values / file path.

Collection to reproduce

N/A, the cURL command above is enough to reproduce.
