Fix issue where users with restricted row-level access to submissions were not able to export at all		 closes #3113
#3110 Project downloads settings not saving properly bug fix
Changing which questions would be exported, for example, did not trigger an update to the saved export settings. This PR fixes the last few inputs that weren’t triggering a save properly. It also includes disabling “select all” (rows) when all are selected and “unselect all” (rows) when none are selected.		 Fixes #3109
