If the --gs_results_bucket option is provided the results are uploaded to Google storage, which is good for trybot results. However it would also be handy to allow a developer to get the screenshots directly.
The render tests are run locally and the outputs get put into render_test_output_dir which is removed once the tests are run [1].
We could not delete this directory after running the tests and allow the developer to pull the images off the device manually - potentially clearing that directory before running tests so images from different test runs are not mixed.
Alternatively, we could pull the images to the computer (similar to how screenshot_dir works).
