Interact with apps on local emulator by specifying URL to their file #50

Ideally, create a desktop app associated with a specific URL scheme that would be opened automatically. Useful for CI environments where canary versions of apps can be tested with storybook

Example: sb-native://app?url=URL_TO_DOWNLOAD_APP should download the mobile app from the URL query param, open the desktop app, and start storybook

More info:

The desktop app should either be a web browser, or a normal electron app
The desktop app needs to be able to communicate with an emulator open on the local machine, or ideally, it should ship with an emulator directly
This is so that people can view static storybooks without needing to use appetize.io
The mobile app needs to be installed onto the emulator
