[Commotion-admin] [luci-commotion] https redirect results in inescapable certificate errors in Firefox (#23)

[technosopher]

The current image does not contain any logic for generating new, individualized https certificates; as a result, all devices running Commotion are essentially using the same certificate.  This fact constitutes an issue in and of itself, but it has become show-stoppingly problematic with the introduction of the forced-redirect to https for all  administrative panels.  At least in Firefox, the browser will allow the https connection to the first device with the standard cert warning - but attempting to connect to any other devices will result in an inescapable error (ie, one that does not let the user through, no matter what they do) indicating that the browser has seen the current cert fingerprint before, associated with a different device, and is hence unwilling to let a new device use it.
