Documents the PDF option DC's grid context menu now offers (dc/dc#238, dc/dc PR #430).

The page said the frontend context menu exports "CSV or Excel". It now describes all three formats, spells out the difference between the frontend "what you see" exports and the backend download, and states what the PDF option does not do: 5000 row cap, monospace, Western European characters only, and very wide tables keeping only the columns that fit.

Merge after (or with) dc/dc PR #430 - before that, the page describes an option that is not in the release.

docs(viewer): document the PDF context-menu export 7721bf4c15 
The context menu now offers PDF alongside CSV and Excel, and the three are
"what you see" exports rather than the backend download, so say what that
means and what the PDF option does not do (5000 row cap, monospace, Western
European characters only).

Heads up for whoever merges this: dc/dc#442 now adds a real server-side PDF report to the backend Download list (docs#32), so the closing line here - "For a typeset report with your company branding, use the backend download instead" - should name that option instead, and drop "company branding", which the report does not do (it uses the site's ODS style).

Not blocking: the frontend paragraph is correct as written until that ships.
