The .chirp file format provides no additional features compared to .CSV and is therefore redundant. .chirp is the more complex and less frequently used format of the two, so to eliminate the redundancy it should be deprecated.

This patch removes the ability to export as .chirp, leaving no way to generate new .chirp files. It preserves the ability to open and import .chirp files, so any existing .chirp files can still be opened, edited, and exported to other formats.
