chore: mark comparator option back as experimental (#20816)
This reverts commit 303c5998f8b747e94ac80e2e02c53b47ded11322.

Reason for revert: I tried enabling `ssim-cie94` by default on
ionic-framework test suite, and it proves to be overly strict for their
usecase.

# class: SnapshotAssertions
* since: v1.20
* langs: js
Playwright provides methods for comparing page and element screenshots with
expected values stored in files.
```js
expect(screenshot).toMatchSnapshot('landing-page.png');
```
## method: SnapshotAssertions.toMatchSnapshot#1
* since: v1.22
Ensures that passed value, either a [string] or a [Buffer], matches the expected snapshot stored in the test snapshots directory.
**Usage**
```js
// Basic usage.
expect(await page.screenshot()).toMatchSnapshot('landing-page.png');
// Pass options to customize the snapshot comparison and have a generated name.
expect(await page.screenshot()).toMatchSnapshot('landing-page.png', {
maxDiffPixels: 27, // allow no more than 27 different pixels.
});
// Configure image matching threshold.
expect(await page.screenshot()).toMatchSnapshot('landing-page.png', { threshold: 0.3 });
// Bring some structure to your snapshot files by passing file path segments.
expect(await page.screenshot()).toMatchSnapshot(['landing', 'step2.png']);
expect(await page.screenshot()).toMatchSnapshot(['landing', 'step3.png']);
```

Note that matching snapshots only work with Playwright test runner.
### param: SnapshotAssertions.toMatchSnapshot#1.name
* since: v1.22
- `name` <[string]|[Array]<[string]>>
Snapshot name.
### option: SnapshotAssertions.toMatchSnapshot#1.maxDiffPixels = %%-assertions-max-diff-pixels-%%
* since: v1.22
### option: SnapshotAssertions.toMatchSnapshot#1.maxDiffPixelRatio = %%-assertions-max-diff-pixel-ratio-%%
* since: v1.22
### option: SnapshotAssertions.toMatchSnapshot#1.threshold = %%-assertions-threshold-%%
* since: v1.22
## method: SnapshotAssertions.toMatchSnapshot#2
* since: v1.22
Ensures that passed value, either a [string] or a [Buffer], matches the expected snapshot stored in the test snapshots directory.
**Usage**
```js
// Basic usage and the file name is derived from the test name.
expect(await page.screenshot()).toMatchSnapshot();
// Pass options to customize the snapshot comparison and have a generated name.
expect(await page.screenshot()).toMatchSnapshot({
maxDiffPixels: 27, // allow no more than 27 different pixels.
});
// Configure image matching threshold and snapshot name.
expect(await page.screenshot()).toMatchSnapshot({
name: 'landing-page.png',
threshold: 0.3,
});
