Export every recorded input, not only the ones that vary

`export runs` dropped a `param.*` column whose value was constant across the
exported runs, so a downstream filter broke depending on which runs the
selection happened to hold. Every input the selection recorded is a column
now; `--params` still narrows it to a sweep's axis. The metrics default is
unchanged.
