Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When running on lower end Android devices, Maestro can take a long time to start and to finish the test, since it's installing the APKs + uninstalling at the end

For instance, we use Flashlight to generate e2e performance reports based on several e2e test iterations and we recommend heavily the use of Maestro (https://docs.flashlight.dev/test/maestro)
However the time bottleneck of running multiple test iterations is those install/uninstall

Describe the solution you'd like
It'd be nice to have the option to skip APK install/uninstall to speed things up
For instance

maestro test test.yaml --skipApkInstall

I'd be happy to raise a PR for that!

We could also add a maestro setup task that does the necessary setup before running a test
