A dummy demo for face detection using classical computer vision

To enable camera on browser, please enable https. With unofficial certificates, Safari and Firefox are tested to be fine but not Chrome.
Create self-assigned certificates:

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -out cert.pem -keyout key.pem -days 365
Several ways to enable https for flask:
- Add app.run(ssl_context=('cert.pem', 'key.pem')) in flask app.py.
- Run flask run --cert=cert.pem --key=key.pem
- Using Gunicorn by: gunicorn --certfile cert.pem --keyfile key.pem -b 0.0.0.0:8000 face-detect:app
- Setup NGINX by steps
