Public bug reported:

When doing a full export we can get files doubled up appearing in
export_info/files/ directory and also subdirectories under this
directory.

It looks like if the file is used in a page / block it gets put here but
at the same time the Files area of the user's Content section is added
in with the same folder structure.

So, for example if I add a coverimage, img1.jpg, to a page it gets saved
in the 'Cover images' folder in files.

When I export the user I get a copy of img1.jpg in export_info/files/
directory because of it's association to the exported page and another
copy in export_info/files/Cover images/ because of it's relation to the
files directory.

we used to export files in their directories to avoid name clashes - but
now that we export files prefixed with their fileid we don't need to
worry about that so we should export all files into export_info/files/
directory without bothering with the subdirectories and have the
generated files html page point to export_info/files/ instead
