Draft: POC for polling CSV export

Aishwarya Subramanian requested to merge poc-polling-csv-export into master

What does this MR do?

This is a POC MR to evaluate polling for CSV export.

When a merge commit csv is requested, a background job is created that computes, generates CSV and maintains the status of the export. The UI meanwhile polls to see if an export is ready, and shows the download button accordingly.

Improvements:

  • Poll only when there is an ongoing export in process
  • Disable new report generation when there is an ongoing export
  • Provision to cancel an ongoing export and generate a new one
