Remove old export file when requesting new project export using API
What does this MR do?
Currently Project Export API does not allow project export to be regenerated within 24 hours window. If POST request is made to /export endpoint followed by a GET request, the response is old project file with export_status: finished, which can be confusing. Sometimes there are situations where you want to regenerate project export within 24 hours window.
Our UI controller code allows you to do it https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/georgekoltsov/add-regenerate-new-export-to-project-export/app/controllers/projects_controller.rb#L236-236 but not the API.
This MR adds an extra step on POST request to /export endpoint removing the old export file before performing a new export.
