Bug Description
Currently, the only way to take a screenshot is to attach the phone to a computer via USB and use phablet-screenshot.
There should be a way to take a screenshot from the phone. Otherwise, it will be hard for people to share how great their phone is on social media, as well as other functions.
-------
Proposed design:
- For triggering: Volume Up + Volume Down
- For indicating the user: White layer opacity animation shown in attached video + shutter sound

Adding unity8 where this can be implemented.
Screenshot plumbing already exists in Mir.
