[CI] Detox project integration - automated self-test flow

[d4vidi]

Describe your idea

Create a CI flow that would step-by-step integrate detox into a fresh RN project and verify that firstTest passes successfully:

1. Bootstrap a specific (or latest) version of a React Native boiler project:

   npx react-native init SelfTestProject --version 0.67.4

2. From within the project directory, install Detox:

   npm i detox --save-dev

3. Run the sequence of shell commands according to Jest Setup Guide:

   npm install -D "jest@>=27.2.5"
   npx detox init -r jest

   and automatically apply necessary patches for iOS:

    apps: {
      ios: {
        type: 'ios.app',
   -    binaryPath: 'SPECIFY_PATH_TO_YOUR_APP_BINARY',
   +    binaryPath: 'ios/build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/SelfTestProject.app',
      },
      android: {
        type: 'android.apk',
   -    binaryPath: 'SPECIFY_PATH_TO_YOUR_APP_BINARY',
   +    binaryPath: 'android/app/build/outputs/apk/fromBin/debug/app-fromBin-debug.apk',
      },
    },

4. Run: detox build -c ios.sim.debug and detox build -c ios.sim.release.
5. Run the tests both for the debug and release configurations. Make sure they pass on the boilerplate app. 🟢
