Description

Currently, when you export custom variables in CSV or TSV, you get a file name like: "Piwik Exporter _ _ [start date] - [end date] .csv"

It would be a nice feature to have an extra GET variable to name the file. Example: "downloadName=mySpecialReport" would give: "Piwik Exporter _ mySpecialReport _ [start date] - [end date] .csv"

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add a GET parameter 'downloadName' to the CSV/TSV export URL. Modify the filename generation logic in the exporter to include this parameter when provided.
