Description
### Feature Description
Sometimes it might be necessary to pass additional flags to bacpac export (For example VerifyExtraction=False).
Currently, the feature that is under public preview, doesn't allow us to pass any additional arguments to SqlPackage. It will be nice to have this supported please.
### Problem and Motivation
There are instances with Database views spanning across multiple databases on the same server. Although this is anti pattern, we will have these cases for sure. In this case, we would like to pass VerifyExtract = False.
There could be other cases too.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Begin by locating the DACPAC/BACPAC export/import path and its SqlPackage invocation, then determine how export options are assembled. Done means callers can supply additional SqlPackage flags, including VerifyExtraction=False, while existing exports continue to work.
