Quickly generate a self-signed cert to start an HTTPS server

## Usage
Install [make-cert](https://www.npmjs.com/package/make-cert)
by running:

```sh
yarn add make-cert
```

To generate a `key.pem` with the private key and `cert.pem` with the
certificate, both in PEM format, run:

```sh
yarn make-cert localhost
```

To use this in your own JavaScript code:
```js
import makeCert from 'make-cert'

const {key, cert} = makeCert('localhost')
console.log(key)
console.log(cert)
```
