Description

Currently the Export-PowerBIReport supports only exports to a .pbix file. Can we also extend this functionality to a .pbit (template) file?
I have hundreds of reports to export into templates and its very inconvenient to do it manually currently.

Research direction

Start with the Export-PowerBIReport cmdlet and compare its current .pbix behavior with the Microsoft Power BI documentation linked in the issue. Confirm how a .pbit export should be requested and reported, then verify that the cmdlet supports template exports without regressing existing report exports.
