Generate JSON Reports for Cypress Image Diff HTML Report when running GUI tests

[SokolovAlexanderV]

JSON files for HTML Reports v2 are generated only when running tests from CLI. Sometimes it is useful to get and analyse reports when running tests via GUI.

Use case for tests group can look like this:

describe('Visual testing', () => {
    after(() => {
        cy.task('generateJsonReport');
    })
});

// or if some environment data required

after(() => {
    cy.task('generateJsonReport', {
        browserName: Cypress.browser.displayName,
        browserVersion: Cypress.browser.version,
        cypressVersion: Cypress.version,
    });
});

Then if we keep Cypress Image Diff HTML Report opened we can easily switch and view any interface difference.

I definitely think this should be implemented. Or at the very least, it should be clear in the docs.
