Sets up an approval test.
Takes the following arguments:
- `:snapshot` - the data generated by your code.
If the data represents an image, it should be given as
`File.read!(some_path)`.
- `:reference` - the reference data with which the snapshots
will be compared. Again, if it represents an image, it should
be given as `File.read!(some_path)`. This file doesn't need
to exist. In fact, the whole point is that the `approval` macro
will generate it the first time the test is run and you'll only
have to review it later. If you already have a reference file,
it won't be overwritten.
- `:reviewed` (*optional*, default: `false`) - whether the reference
data has been reviewed by the user or not
