Extract observation photos during export of observations

Is it possible to extract the observation photos when the observations are exported? This could certainly help Data Scientists.

Allowing this at scale through the UI is likely too stressful on our servers and bandwidth. If the Data Scientists need photos, they will have the requisite URLs for the observation and the first photo. And they can use the API to get photos at a proper rate if needed.

Closing this as the API should be used for photo exports, not the standard CSV export.
