      png_file: A path to a PNG file containing the image to be compared.
      output_manager: An output manager to use to store diff links. The

      optional_keys: A dict containing optional key/value pairs to pass to Gold
          for this comparison. Optional keys are keys unrelated to the
          configuration the image was produced on, e.g. a comment or whether
          Gold should treat the image as ignored.

      A tuple (status, error). |status| is a value from
      SkiaGoldSession.StatusCodes signifying the result of the comparison.
