Add CSV export for search results

[lacatoire]

Summary

Adds CSV export functionality to the search results page. A new Export CSV button appears alongside the existing "Show All" and "Racks Only" buttons. Clicking it downloads all matching search results as a CSV file.

Exported columns: Data Center, Cabinet, Device Label, Device Type, Serial No, Asset Tag, Primary IP, Owner, Status.

Fixes #1386

Why add an entirely new export feature rather than just add the racks to the report that already does this function? Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

Good point! The existing Search/Export by Data Center (search_export.php) is great for browsing
devices per data center, but it doesn't support the same search filters as the search page (owner,
tags, IP, serial, asset tag, etc.).

The original request in #1386 came from a use case where the report didn't quite fit — for example,
finding empty racks owned by a specific owner. The idea here is to let users export exactly what
they searched for, as a complement to the existing report.

Happy to discuss if you think there's a better way to approach this!

Using the existing report and your example.

We have a single property filter here that works the exact same as the search function, I think the only thing missing here are the rack objects themselves. This already has an export function for csv, excel and pdf. Personally I think the best approach would be to modify this to add in the racks. If you would like to modify the other search page and we can find a way to link those search results over to this report and pre-populate the search term that would be ideal.
