Avoid idling in transaction when exporting relation using DirectTransfer

What does this MR do and why?

This MR updates BulkImports::ExportUpload and moves storing of an upload from after_save to after_commit. The reason being after_save still has database transaction opened and if the file we upload is too big then we hit a db transaction timeout error, resulting in the upload record to not be saved.

Similar update has been done in the past to the ImportExportUpload model here !63350 (merged)
