Include GUIDs in cost code assignment summary export

Currently after user completes the cost code assignments in Modeler, the export/ summary does not necessary provide the GUIDs for the elements, therefore consultants or services colleagues don't have a way to bring cost codes to 4D Pro unless Modeler writes cost codes to iModel and 4D Pro reads cost codes from iModel.

Including some kind of GUIDs in the export will help extracting data to another product (does not need to be Pro) and enhances integration. This also provides users a workaround and fulfills the story of our 4D workflow.

Currently in 4D Pro the Name on Import column for 3D use <ECClassID>[<ElementID>] format as the GUID for iModel elements. If Modeler can provide GUIDs in this similar format for 3d elements in the cost code assignment export then at least there is a way to get those cost codes into 4D Pro through Excel for planning/ scheduling use.
