update the output tool to allow older hardware output to .hyper files

[patrick_digan]

As of 2019.4+, Alteryx is now leveraging the Tableau Hyper API in order to output .Hyper files. Unfortunately, our hardware is not compatible with the Tableau Hyper API. It would be great if Alteryx could allow a best of both worlds in that they use the new Tableau Hyper API when possible but revert back to the old method (pre 2019.4) when the machine's hardware doesn't support the new Tableau Hyper API. Thanks!

For what it's worth, I've also submitted an idea on the Tableau community in case Tableau wants to fix the "issue" on their side.

It would be nice to have the backwards compatibility so that users wouldn't have to buy new hardware just to support being able to write to a more efficient file format.
