This patch allows the desktop recorder to be run manually. A subsequent patch
will enable it for every m-c push once the hardware is deployed.

:barret, can you provide some documentation on these new tests somewhere in-tree?

We have perfdocs that can build docs dynamically from a folder of information if the fxrecord code was in-tree. But since it's not (even though it should be imo), you could add a blurb about it into this page: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/testing/perfdocs/

The RST file for that page is here: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/tools/lint/perfdocs/templates/index.rst
The owner of these tests should be the Performance team.

Bug 1738369 suggests this was resolved, and has recently started failing.
