Use local-only HTTPS certs for the development neopass-server

I'm starting to work with the OpenID Connect stuff in NeoPass, and the
library I'm using for discovery doesn't seem to want to do it over a
plain `http://` connection. (I dug into the source files, and it just
actually is hardcoded to only work with HTTPS, as far as I can tell?)

So, I've added logic to `neopass-server` to try to make an HTTPS
certificate with the `mkcert` utility (if installed), which is a tool
that installs a root certificate authority on your local machine, then
helps you create certificates via that authority that will work only on
your local machine.

I think I'll also be able to remove the "main" server in front of the
backing server, because the library I'm using now will be able to
"discover" the auth and token endpoints, so it won't matter that our
local one uses different URLs than live NeoPass does? We'll find out!

I also remove `neopass-server` from the `Procfile`, because I think
it's a bit rude to have it auto-try to run `mkcert`. We could like,
make the process just a no-op in that case? But I think I'd prefer to
just run `neopass-server` by hand when I want it, for simplicity.
