Generating CSV using a template and concatenating string using separators
doesn't always generate valid CSV, and should be a avoided. The Koha codebase
shouldn't contain code to deal with special escape sequences or CSV generation
internals. We already include Text::CSV_XS and should just pass it arrayrefs
for each row, and let the library deal with CSV complexities [1].

This was highlighted by bug 34043.
