"Notice: Array to string conversion" when downloading CSV or TSV files from Visitor Log in 1.12

[anonymous-matomo-user]

I looked at earlier tickets that looked like they addressed this, but did not find a solution (the fixes should be included in 1.12).

One notable detail is that the server is running PHP 5.4.13. This caused other issues on a related website (the website being tracked).

The error message is below:

Notice: Array to string conversion in /var/www/vhosts/new-example.com/httpdocs/core/DataTable/Renderer/Csv.php on line 283

In 1510afc: Fixes #4063, allow csv renderer to handle arbitrarily nested data structures at least a little bit gracefully.

In f0f5edd: Refs #4063, test for this fix.
