Better partial saved objects export options

[tbragin]

At the moment, there are only two ways to export objects:

• Global export
• Per-visualization type partial export

So, if you want to export a dashboard and all dependent objects (searches & visualizations), you are sort of out of luck (unless you don't have any other objects in your system and global export exports works). There is no way to either:

1. Select one dashboard and say "export all objects that depend on it" along with it
2. Manually select the dashboard and associated visualizations and searches you know depend on it and export those all together

We should consider doing at least one or the other, maybe both. Clearly, (1) would lead to a better experience, but (2) would at least alleviate the need to either delete all other objects or manually manipulate JSON files after the export.

I have a situation where I have several dashboards, and many visualizations (some of which don't appear on any dashboard) and I'd like to export just one of the dashboards and the associated visualizations.

Today, I can do this by exporting everything and manually removing all of the dashboards and visualizations that don't apply, but I have to be very careful.
