feat(http): TLS support

While we expect the frontend to be deployed behind a web layer, we still
want to support TLS:
- The data center might require all internal communications to be encrypted.
- For some deployments such as NIM a web layer is not practical.

Make a self-signed certificate:

```
openssl genpkey -algorithm Ed25519 -out key.pem
openssl req -new -x509 -key key.pem -days 1460 -out cert.pem -subj "/C=US/ST=CA/L=Santa Clara/O=LocalDev/OU=Dynamo/CN=example.com"
```

Start the frontend:

```
python -m dynamo.frontend --http-port 8443 --tls-cert-path /data/certs/cert.pem --tls-key-path /data/certs/key.pem
```

Remember to add `--insecure` to your curl request.
