Online images and base64 images support

[veedata]

This PR adds the functionality to be able to load images directly from a URL and also allows for reading a base64 image. Primary motivation for creation of this feature is with the extensive online work being done, it is easier to have an all-in-one solution than to have a user import another library and have additional code unrelated to the user's use case.

Features

• Support to load base 64 images
• Support to directly load online images

Code Examples

Online Images

import face-recognition
image = load_image_online(r'https://github.com/ageitgey/face_recognition/blob/master/tests/test_images/obama.jpg?raw=true')
face_locations = face_recognition.face_locations(image)

Base64 Image

import face-recognition
image = load_image_file(base64_string, base64_image=True)
face_locations = face_recognition.face_locations(image)

Tests

• docstring in function
• flake8 formatting check
• Added Tests for features
• Github Actions all tests passing (3.5-3.9)

this code doesn't work for me

[veedata]

@Bah1996 the code in the PR still works for me.

Can you give me more details on how you installed the library and code you used? Additionally, steps to re-create the issue will also help me fix things.
