Proof of liveness (ZK client side) - Aka Proof of human

IDs and image vectors. Proof of liveness that works directly on the user's device and is able to generate a liveness proof (verifiable on-chain) without specialized hardware, or need to share biometrics to external servers. Client side ZK-image recognition is required by Rarimo.
