Allow users to export the symbology as vector tiles symbology, similar to how you export a lyrx file.

Currently, to check symbology for a vector tile package, you have to create a new package and upload it to AGOL where you can then check if it translated properly. Then you make adjustments, delete the existing package, and re-upload a new version.

For simple symbology, this may not be necessary, but for more complex symbols with scaling and fills, it could be very helpful.

If I could export the symbol from ArcGIS Pro, then I can continue to use the existing vtpk in the vector tile style editor and just restyle it with the JSON and PNGs that are exported from Pro, instead of needing to go back to Content, Upload, and then go back into the tile editor once the new layer has been created.

This would also be helpful for "patching" symbology if you notice that there are mistakes in the current style without needing to re-create the entire package and hosting and possibly breaking other maps that are referencing the original hosted vtpk.
