Description

Per our meeting, monte has a WIP here already.

Process wise I see this playing out as:

When the RC build is created an email goes out with link to snapshots
The release manager (PM and/or project manager) will scan the snapshots and assess if there are any blockers
Add a release checklist item to "Verify no blocker visual or localization issues by reviewing RC snapshots"

Per the meeting this is tagged on 5.8.2 but could happen in 5.9+ depending on @Mhurd's other priorities.

cc @ABorbaWMF as this is something QA might want to be involved in/using as well, for example as part of smoke test process.

What this isn't:
This is not visual diff or visual test related functionality.

What this is:
Think of this as "printing the app", for easier proofing of release candidates.

See description here https://github.com/wikimedia/wikimedia-apps-ci-bot/pull/1 for how to kick off screenshots from Slack.

In theory (with some work) I believe I could make this navigate to almost *every* screen on the regression script, which may make @ABorbaWMF's iOS workflow a lot smoother :)

@ABorbaWMF Would you like to meet sometime soon to chat about this?
