Test and document gdiff workflow #271

Description

@hturner

With #230, we have at least some of the prerequisites for visual testing with {gdiff}. However, we should try out the workflow in the updated container and see if anything else is missing.

If everything works, we should document it!

I wrote some notes on running gdiff testing on macOS, where I hit several issues with building packages from source: https://github.com/r-devel/rcwg/blob/main/working_documents/gdiff_notes.md. I think it should be easier in the container as we can install linux binaries (see the footnotes in the working document). We can also provide the example R scripts for running the tests, to make it as straight-forward as possible.

This would be a new chapter after the multiple build chapter.
