Summary16123: TSV export does not properly export a single group/question/answer option etc.
Description

When exporting a singel group/question/answer option as tab-separated-value it will not be properly exported.
Instead usually 2-3 invalid rows will appear in the .tsv export

Steps To Reproduce

To reproduce take use a survey with a single question or answer option and check the output.

Additional Information

The reason is that the export file is created by using the XML representation of the survey,
However, instead of using it directly as SimpleXML it gets converted to a PHP array by using json_encode/json_decode.
This is causing XML nodes that only have one child in a collection to be not nested properly, anymore.
The correct solution would be to rewrite the TSV export to use the SimpleXML object directly (like survey .lss import does).
