Export issues to CSV
EE follow up from https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/6683
What does this MR do?
Adds a Download CSV button to a project's issue index.
The CSV will be emailed from a background job after confirmation via modal dialog.
Why was this MR needed?
Users wanted a way to easily share lists of issues outside of gitlab.
Examples included handing out paper copies in meetings and emailing a selection of issues.
