Find a way to automatically install pycocotools module from https://github.com/cocodataset/cocoapi, so running pp_merge_to_panoptic goes smoothly. @DdeGeus ?

When installing on Windows pip install pycocotools requires MSCV compiler, which makes installation cumbersome as build tools are not by default installed in Windows. This makes the first pip install to fail, then the user should install build tools manually and then execute pip install again.
Does it require extra dependencies in a "fresh" linux?
Maybe consider moving it to optional.txt again? (as it is used only on specific scripts) @vincentwen1995 @DdeGeus

Hi Panos, I think it's because pycocotools has some C/C++ dependency that needs to be built. I only tested it out with gcc on my wsl environment. Indeed if it is not a pure python package and either gcc/msvc compiler is needed, we should make it optional or note it down in Readme.
