Design of the New Rebaseline Server
===================================

Initial key features:

* Independent of Skia's specific tests (i.e. DM vs GM), but abstract enough
  to handle different testing scenarios (SKPs, cluster telemetry, Blink, Android and beyond).
* Allow posting of DM output for fast comparison (to be called from Buildbot).
* Frontend UI allow to maintain image baselines.
* Instead of maintaining expectation on a per builder basis we will maintain
  a set of expectations for each test.
