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"

Research direction
Investigate the export functionality in Matomo's codebase, likely in files related to CSV/TSV export. Look for where file names are generated (e.g., Piwik Exporter ...). Add a new GET parameter 'downloadName' and incorporate it into the file name construction. Ensure backward compatibility and test both CSV and TSV formats.
