Upgrade opencv to version 6.1.0 or higher.

opencv is a defacto computer vision library - by interfacing with it natively in node, we get powerful real time vision in js.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Command Injection. It did not properly validate user input which allowed attackers to execute arbitrary commands.
