Provide method to use "Export Item" REST endpoint

[JeffJacobson]

I am writing a script where I need to use the Export Item REST endpoint to export from a Feature Layer to a Feature Collection. As far as I can tell there doesn't seem to be a way to access Export Item via the ArcGIS Python API. (Or if there is, it doesn't seem to be documented.)

I never figured out a way to do this with the arcgis package, but did manage a workaround.

@JeffJacobson thanks for reporting this. We are working on adding export() method to the Item class.

Item.export method was added for this: http://esri.github.io/arcgis-python-api/apidoc/html/arcgis.gis.toc.html#arcgis.gis.Item.export
