New revenue export formats

A new item has been added to the Settings > Interface menu
The existing "Revenue Export" and "Xero Export" are still available and an item "Pre-built Revenue Exports" has been added.
It provides access to "Format builder", "Saved Formats" and "Export". 

Format builder offers a selection of pre-built formats, some, like Sage Accpac 300 have not been possible to create until now.
The idea is that a user will select a format to start with and if necessary, tweak it for their specific needs before saving their format to use in future exports.

Once a format has been selected, property and format name have been entered and "Continue" is clicked, some editing can be done.
We plan to expand the customisation capabilities in the next phase of this development.
Once saved, the format can be accessed from the "Export" menu item under Pre-built Revenue Exports.
