Igniteui-angular: Export Hierarchical Grid to Excel

[3phase]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The igxHierarchicalGrid cannot be exported to Excel

Describe the solution you'd like

Export hierarchical grid in Angular to Excel, as by hierarchical grid in jQuery.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The Excel Exporter is not generic enough

The Excel Exporter is not generic, i.e it's so much dependent on the type of the grid, the data originates from. That may cause trouble and is not flexible.

There are not enough exposed properties in the Exporter Service API

If the user wants to export data, which looks somehow different from the already implemented logics, one may not succeed, because of lack of enough handlers.

Hi there, just jumping in because this would be really helpful for us too

For info, the workaround I did is to flatten the data and export it as a single array (which might not meet some requirements)
