Made several small improvements all around.

Added the option for the user to input their arguments via standard in instead of arguments when they launch the file.

Added a check to ensure the directory that we're about to attempt to write to exists, and if it doesn't it creates the full tree.

Added the default frame width.

Optimize for RPi

See merge request !5

The raspberry pi still isn't great with a width of 375, so decreased it further to 275.

Removed the diagnostic timings.

Added some more options for some of the functions to be used in order to make things more FLEXible.
Also added the corresponding documentation for these additions.

In an attempt to speed up processing, I've reduced the width of the camera feed to be used and added a runtime option to change which camera is used.

The start video stream method in the common module wasn't using its camera argument, so actually made the argument useful.

The location for the database was the incorrect argument name, so renamed it.

Just making refactorings and adding methods that I know I will need later.

Added a module to test the authentication manually with some pictures, as well as improved the way the authentication module works.

The authenticate user script was letting anyone in, so have now fixed that hopefully. Still awaiting final testing.

Interface CLI

See merge request !4

The electron app will be interacting with the interface module over the standard input, so arguments have been added for this.

Realized that there were some problems with the authentication and common modules, so fixed them here.

Add Interface for React App

See merge request !3

Added a python module which just acts as an interface for the UI application.

Made some small changes to certain things that wouldn't be necessary in common anymore. Although, this will break some of the stuff that I was attempting to do before.

The old register-user and authentication systems have been reworked a little bit, working towards finalizing the authentication.
Big problem now is that it seems to recognize anyone as anyone, so not great authentication.

Worked on the new deep learning model, but now realizing that it won't really work well for our application, so I'm switching to the older way of doing it.

Updated the gitignore to work with Pycharm properly. Lot of stuff on it now.

The new register user, using custom methods, appears to work nicely from basic testing. Will continue with other things now.

Merge branch 'master' of https://git.uwaterloo.ca/se101-team-flex/face-recognition into user-registration

Initial user authentication

See merge request !1

Now using the cv2 video stream instead of the imUtils one, since it seems to be a little less latent.

The registering and authentication of users now works together nicely. Will continue with making it more efficient and integration with the react side.

The data handler was writing the wrong way. I was still using the file.write method, even though pickle.dump does the job on its own, so once I removed that things started working agian.

The register user functionality isn't quite working, doesn't save to the database properly. Will continue working on this.

Still preparing for user registration stuff. Made some changes to
authentication to make some of its general methods available for the
user registration module as well.

Had something that I had meant to remove before committing last. Removed it now.

Added the gitignore that is required in order to ignore the data set,
which would be bad to commit since then we'd be uploading the facial
recognition profile of users.

The most basic version of authenticate user is working to identify me
nicely. Still need to tune everything, fixup the debugging stuff and
actually make the script to generate the encodings that will be used.
