Added 'force_return_bytes' param to force bytes output.

Fix 'Input type 'System.Bytes' is not supported'. When using .net, set  force_return_bytes to True to return bytes output.

     Remove the background from an input image.
 
-    This function takes in various parameters and returns a modified version of the input image with the background removed. The function can handle input data in the form of bytes, a PIL image, or a numpy array. The function first checks the type of the input data and converts it to a PIL image if necessary. It then fixes the orientation of the image and proceeds to perform background removal using the 'u2net' model. The result is a list of binary masks representing the foreground objects in the image. These masks are post-processed and combined to create a final cutout image. If a background color is provided, it is applied to the cutout image. The function returns the resulting cutout image in the format specified by the input 'return_type' parameter.
