more control over content exported (via query widget)

[djay]

problem

• currently can only select by type or single path (+ depth)

Solution

• single query widget to replace path, depth and type
• have a default query with all types and root folder selected to make it quicker to adjust
• show count/preview of selected content. Maybe counts of all the content types selected?
• some kind of adapter to make it easy to insert specific options if another exporter is added?

Alternatives considered

• it would be more intuitive to put the options for each exporter indented directly under its checkbox. like "Conditionally revealing a related question in GDS"
• Query widget should probably move to the top since its used for almost all exporters?
• show list of content rather than counts by type? or maybe counts by path?

I used the https://github.com/starzel/contentexport example to add widgets to my own form and make other tweaks for my specific needs:

Add a copy of the 'export_content.pt' template to the templates folder, and add template = ViewPageTemplateFile("templates/export_content.pt") to the example CustomContentExport, and enjoy.
