Requirement export adding extra character to description field

Problem

When I export a list of requirements using the built-in requirement export feature, I notice an additional character (') showing up in the file. This means that when importing the file provided during export, the markdown is not correct.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a requirement with a markdown description such as the following:

Perform an export. Examining the resulting CSV file, we see the following. Note that there are double quotes around the description field as expected, but a single quote is at the beginning which is not expected.

If this is re-imported, the description field will contain the ' character, which breaks the markdown field.
