* Add menu option for products_master_categories
Add to the main screen an option to export all product by their master_categories_id instead of providing all product including as linked.
This is added to both the clickable link as well as the dropdown list. Dropdown list needs to be resequenced/better id's used so that can add to the list in the future like when sorting product.
* Export Full product list by master_categories_id
This performs the export of the file by master_categories_id (only one row per product, unlike the other export that will provide all instances of the product so that one can see which category(ies) the product is in.
* Menu language for export by master_categories_id
Adds the language define for the main menu to show the option to export by master_categories_id (no linked product).
* Add master_categories_id dropdown language
This adds the dropdown word(s) for export of product by master_categories_id (no linked product)
* Header version update

Support export of all product in the cart but without linked product such that category presented is from the products master_categories_id.
Import of this file is not modified and therefore if the category is modified, then:
If there is no change in the category, then the product's data will be updated.
If it is a new category the category will be created, the product will be linked to that category, and the remaining data imported will replace the data for the primary product location and be visible at all linked locations.
If the category existed and the product was not in it, then the product will be linked to that category, and the remaining data imported will replace the data for the primary product location and be visible at all linked locations.

In development of EP4, @chaddro had gone above and beyond with the export data to be able to show and present all "variations" of a product (ie. to include the categories in which it was linked); however, this has also proven to some to be confusing because of the "extra" effort necessary to support import without the product "losing" its newly modified information. (Last entry for a product wins the place in the database.) It's a relatively simple concept, but requires more thought/planning.
Anyways, for those that would otherwise routinely remove the additional product listings, this is an extra step for them or if they go to update the product in some way they may make the edit in the first instance of the listing. It seems like it may be of benefit (though adding yet another option/capability) to export the product based on the product's master_categories_id. For those that have perhaps otherwise already figured it out, it isn't difficult to add, it's just another possible option from which to select.
Proposing an additional selection list item to click on (full export related) and an additional option in the dropdowns/dropdown sequence. (May want to use a checkbox instead of dropdown selection depending on where all that linked product play a factor in the export.)
