Revisit whether CLI should wipe the emulator export directory

See original GitHub issue

[REQUIRED] Environment info

firebase-tools:

└ firebase --version
9.16.0

Platform: macOS

[REQUIRED] Test case

Not sure what I should put here.

[REQUIRED] Steps to reproduce

Start the emulators with auth and database imports
Shut down emulators with one ctrl+c

[REQUIRED] Expected behavior

Emulators shut down and data is exported.

[REQUIRED] Actual behavior

Emulators print an error and the WHOLE FOLDER IS DELETED.

I am also unable to see the logs as the logs are deleted together with the working directory.

My two cents: we should go with #4127 in the short term but find a way to do exports without wiping the target directory.

The wiping behavior was introduced in #3511 to solve an unrelated issue but maybe we can find a better solution. Ideas are welcomed!
