Present a landing page when running in server mode

Once PR https://github.com/plotly/orca/pull/222 is merged in, it will be as easy as running docker run -it --net=host quay.io/plotly/orca to start a server instance of Orca on any host with Docker.

It could be nice to have something like this on HTTP GET /: Screenshot_2019-04-26_21-09-19

It would be great if this landing page could include an upload and/or copy/paste for Plotly chart JSON, similar to: https://export.highcharts.com/

This would be useful for testing, users submitting orca bug reports, and sales demos when customers or prospects want to understand what orca is.

A lot of users seem to still have trouble with Orca installation. This is sadly the most viewed thread in our community forum:

https://community.plot.ly/t/use-plotly-offline-to-save-chart-as-image-file/408/44

If we had a dead simple Orca landing page with figure JSON upload and desired image format download, this could be an alternative for users who encounter an Orca installation issue. We could print the URL to this service when Orca is installed and guarantee no data being saved anywhere. Something like orca.plot.ly or image-convert.plot.ly
