 #43546 created the `wp-content/uploads/exports` folder in order to store
 personal data exports. @johnjamesjacoby pointed out that that's likely to
 conflict with existing folders, and that the
 `wp_privacy_delete_old_export_files()` cron job will delete any files in
 that folder.

 To avoid unintentionally deleting files created by plugins, we should
 probably rename the folder to something more specific, like `wp-
 content/uploads/wp-personal-data-exports`.
