[Feature Request] Add support for tablet devices in Maestro Cloud / Robin

[unhir]

Use case

Many developers are now targeting tablet devices for their applications. Having the ability to test on tablets will ensure that the applications are fully functional and optimised for these devices. This is especially important for applications that require larger screens and different user interactions compared to mobile phones.

The problem is that currently, Robin does not support tablet devices, which limits the testing coverage for applications designed for larger screens. This leads to potential issues and bugs in tablet-specific scenarios that cannot be identified and fixed beforehand.

From "Configuring OS version" page in robin docs: https://docs.robintest.com/reference/device-configuration/configuring-os-version

Emulator specs
x86_64 architecture
Android API 33 (Google APIs) (Default)
606x1280, 244 dpi

Simulator Specs
x86 architecture
iOS version 16 (default)
iPhone 11
828x1792, 326 ppi

Proposal

Introduce a new argument --device-type that defaults to phone (or mobile). This argument can be used to specify the device type for testing.

For example, to test on a tablet, the user would use the command:

maestro cloud --android-api-level 33 --device-type tablet myapp.apk myflows/

Anything else?

There is currently an open issue about setting device orientation: #1221

This might be enough for some developers, but does not solve the issue with larger screen size that the tablets usually have.
