Feature: Export elevation profiles

A new item has been added to the elevation profile toolbar, which includes various options for exporting elevation profiles.
Profile plots can now be exported as:

  • 3D Features: exports the profile line as 3d cross sections, with z values taken from the elevation slices
  • 2D Profile: exports the profile as a distance vs elevation chart (i.e. as shown in the elevation profile widget)
  • Distance/Elevation Table: exports sample distance vs elevation values as a table

The results can be saved as DXF files, CSV files, or any of the standard writable vector spatial formats shapefile geopackages.
