incremental exports broken when using destination server and no history id
Cloned from 17416463

Description of problem:

Passing a history_id when creating an incremental export is optional and we have code to find the "parent" export for us in this case.
This code was refactored as part of SAT-32715 and now fails to find a parent when the user passes a "destination_server" when creating the base export 

How reproducible:

100%
 

Is this issue a regression from an earlier version:

 Yes this is a regression.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. hammer content-export complete library --destination-server satellite.example.com --organization "Test Organization"

2. hammer content-export incremental library --destination-server satellite.example.com --organization "Test Organization"

Actual behavior:

{noformat}

1. hammer content-export incremental library --destination-server satellite.example.com --organization "Test Organization"
   Could not export the library:
   Unable to find a base content view to use for incremental export. Please run a complete export instead. {noformat}

Expected behavior:
The complete export is found and the incremental one is created based off that.

As you can see, the CVs have the destination server in their name, but the code only looks for "Export-Library" when searching for the parent.
