Add CSV Export Functionality to Embedded Views

Summary

Add the ability to export data from embedded views to CSV format, allowing users to easily extract and analyze data outside of GitLab.

Problem Statement

Currently, users viewing embedded data tables in GitLab (issue lists, MR lists, pipeline results, etc.) cannot easily export this data for external analysis, reporting, or record-keeping. This forces users to:

• Manually copy-paste data
• Use API calls to reconstruct the same view
• Take screenshots for static records
• Lose filtering and sorting context when sharing data

Proposed Solution

Add a "Export to CSV" button/option to embedded views that:

• Exports currently filtered and sorted data
• Maintains column order as displayed in the view
• Includes relevant metadata (export date, view context, applied filters)
• Respects user permissions (only exports data the user can view)
