Support for VSTS & VSTS Test Attachments

See original GitHub issue

Current behavior:

I’ve installed Cypress into a project built on VSTS. To get cypress to run on the Linux Hosted agents I had to perform the following additional steps:

apt-get -qq -y update
apt-get -qq -y install xvfb libgtk2.0-0 libnotify-dev libgconf-2-4 libnss3 libxss1 libasound2

To get reporting to work (to get status information in the VSTS release dashboard) I configured the junit reporter:

cypress run --reporter junit

This works up to a certain point. Cypress runs, a junit report is generated, but all of the recorded videos are ignored after the run is completed.

VSTS supports uploading test attachments when they are referenced in the test report. I tried configuring the xunit-file reporter, but no attachment is added. I tried configuring the mocha-trx-reporter (native visual studio format), but it crashes when running with cypress.

Desired behavior:

Cypress logs the recorded video as test attachment in the generated test results so that Visual Studio Team Services can associate them to the test results and show them in the portal.
