Add ability to generate URL for excel export

Create new button and input box to help create a URL for an excel export
that includes the selected columns.

Previously, one would have to look at their web server logs for the URL.

First attempt was to try and do this by opening the export in a new
winodow/tab but it seems most browsers (Chrome and FF atleast) will
cloes that tab immediately after the excel sheet was downloaded.

This lead to the URL itself being generated by the user once they are
happy with the options they have selected for their export.
Handle excel URL creation on combined status page

The combined status pages work pretty differently compared to the rest
of the status pages and need to be handled differnently when creating
the URL creation for excel exports.
Ignore unnecessary inputs on combined pages

Some inputs on the combined pages make the excel URL pretty long and
they aren't really necessary.
add excel export permanent link (fixes #422)
