This adds an action for the context menu entry we added in #11062. That PR added support for exporting the buffer, exclusively through the tab item's context menu. This adds an action that can additionally be bound, which also can export the buffer to a file. This action accepts a `path` param. If empty/ommitted, then the Terminal will prompt for the file to export the buffer to. * Does a part of #9700 * Spec in #11090, but I doubt this is contentious * [x] This will satisfy #12052 * [x] I work here * [x] docs added: MicrosoftDocs/terminal#479

Export console buffer automatically. I'm not a programmer, but considering this is now a macro, in theory you could create something like: I imagine this would need to be defined in the profiles that opened each TAB.
