FIX: topic_creator accepts participant_count in import mode (#10632)

The issue mentioned here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/imported-private-discussion-doesnt-appear-in-the-author-inbox/163252

`participant_count` is important to attribute for private messages. If they are imported, we should allow them to set that attribute.

A workaround would be evaluating `update_statistics` method on each Topic but that is less performant.
