Remove mentions to outdated plugin: cypress-plugin-snapshots #5086
Description
In this and this pages there are mentions and instructions to install a plugin that has not worked with Cypress since version 4.5.0: cypress-plugin-snapshots.
The first page I mentioned even has instructions to install this plugin:
// run 'npm i cypress-plugin-snapshots -S'
// capture the element screenshot and
// compare to the baseline image
Which if attempted with any recent version of Cypress (> 2020) will give this error:
npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
npm ERR!

Because of this line in that plugin's package.json:
"peerDependencies": {
"cypress": "^4.5.0"
},I think there is no purpose on having instructions for a command that won't work if attempted. This Issue is to ask if it can be removed so the next person can focus on visual testing plugins that are maintained.
