Export a project component to the library

Exports a project component to the workspace library, making it available for reuse across all projects. The exported component includes all nested data (items, questions, todos, test cases, conditions) with ID references automatically updated. The component is placed at the end of the library with an optional custom name. Requires both Projects.manageComponents and ProjectComponentsLibrary.edit permissions.
