[6.x] Allow choosing which columns to export form submissions - #15347

Conversation
Exporters can now opt into column selection via supportsColumnSelection(), and receive a subset via setColumns(). The submissions export modal gains a column checkbox list for exporters that support it, and was extracted out of the listing page into its own component. The filtered-scope description no longer mentions sort order, which applies to both scopes since #15105. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

This pull request implements the ability to choose which columns are included when exporting form submissions.
Previously, the export modal let you pick a format and whether to export all or filtered submissions, but every export included every field. Now there's a "Columns" section in the modal, with all fields (plus the date) selected by default and a "Select All" / "Deselect All" toggle.
Column selection lives in the modal, rather than on individual exporters, since it's a property of the request in the same way filtering is. The selected columns are passed to the exporter, which decides how to honour them.
Exporters
The base
Exporterclass gains acolumns()helper which returns the selected column handles in form order, defaulting to every field plusdatewhen nothing has been selected. The built-in CSV and JSON exporters use it, and custom exporters can too.Column selection is opt-in. Custom exporters that honour
columns()should overridesupportsColumnSelection()to returntrue, otherwise the "Columns" section is hidden when that exporter is chosen. This means existing custom exporters keep working exactly as before.This PR also extracts the export modal into its own
