Description

Currently we have a (great) dev-tools/scripts/smokeTester.py that will perform automated tests against a release.

This was developed with the ant build process in mind.

This issue is just about considering the automated checks we do here, maybe some of them can be done efficiently in the gradle build in earlier places: this would be a large improvement!

Obviously some of them (e.g. GPG release key verifications) are really specific to the artifacts in question. These are most important to release verification, as that is actually the only place we can check it.

Any other checks (and I do tend to think, this checker should try to be thorough, invoking gradle etc), should be stuff we regularly test in PRs/nightly/builds.
