If you are running with an artifact build locally, the geckodriver binary will never be build. As such you have to download it yourself via github's releases page, or build via `cargo build` inside of `testing/geckodriver`.

For users who just want to have an executable the `mach artifact` command would be perfect to let them download a version of geckodriver. And that maybe even not only a release version but also a build as created from the current changeset on mozilla-central.
For the per commit build we would need compiled builds across all platforms. It means it depends on bug 1417646.
Depends on: 1417646
This actually works now because the binary is build on all platforms, and as such downloaded with the common tests package when running a `mach build` for an artifact build locally. Running the wdspec tests will find the downloaded binary and use it:

> 0:46.70 pid:20322 Full command: /Volumes/data/code/gecko/obj/debug/dist/NightlyDebug.app/Contents/MacOS/geckodriver --marionette-port 2828 --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4444

So this is fixed by bug 1417649.
