export data, store "Export Type", Export Format" along with fields

[Ferdinand]

wish
please store these 2 fields along with the "saved field list" as it is highly likely that the action undertaken with a saved list will always be the same.

currently most users have always to change these settings to
* Export All Data
* Export Format - Excel
to open data in a spreadsheet.

Do you want this for v5.0/v6.0/trunk?

We have implemented this for v5.0 with csv export. In webclient we even
stream it such that you get csv file download, just spinning around
without a timeout, and no defined file length, otherwise for big tables
it can time out.

We didn't modify anything in the server, just the web-client.

Although this functionality may be useful openerp-server side.

Problem is that you can't stream/append to excel file since some data is
changing in the header/beginning of the file (and get timeouts from the
web-client...) Hence we opted for the csv format only.
