feat: add the native silo healthcheck subcommand

Browse Source 
Add 'silo healthcheck [live|ready|cluster|cluster-read]', a thin
anonymous HTTP client for the server's own /minio/health/* endpoints,
so containers without a shell, curl, or mc can still run health
checks. Design: silo.pgsty.com/compatibility/feature/healthcheck/

The check vocabulary maps 1:1 onto the health API paths; the probe
target is derived from the server's own --address/MINIO_ADDRESS
contract with HTTPS auto-detected from the certs directory, and can
be overridden with --url. Exit codes are 0/1 only (Docker reserves 2);
diagnostics (x-minio-server-status, quorum headers) go into a single
output line for docker inspect. The request is strictly anonymous (a
credentialed request would be rejected by the reserved-path guard),
the transport bypasses HTTP_PROXY, and certificate verification is
skipped to match kubelet HTTPS probe behavior. Cluster checks default
to a 15s deadline so the server's 10s cluster_deadline can elapse.

Compatibility notes: the preserved /minio/health/* path literals and
the MINIO_ADDRESS env var are upstream wire/config surface, reused on
purpose; the rebrand-guard baseline is regenerated for the new route
literals (tests included) with zero new exported symbols. The docker
entrypoint argv translation learns the new command name.

Verified: unit tests, entrypoint tests, go vet, plus an end-to-end
run against a live server covering all four checks, --maintenance
(412), --json, usage errors, unreachable and timeout paths.

Silo server exposes three un-authenticated, healthcheck endpoints liveness probe and a cluster probe at `/minio/health/live` and `/minio/health/cluster` respectively.
## Native CLI probe
The `silo` binary can probe those endpoints itself, which makes health checking possible in containers that ship no shell, `curl`, or `mc`:
```
silo healthcheck [FLAGS] [live|ready|cluster|cluster-read]
```
The check name maps 1:1 onto `/minio/health/<path>`; `live` is the default. The exit code is `0` when healthy and `1` otherwise, and one diagnostic line (including the `x-minio-server-status` and quorum headers on failure) is printed for `docker inspect` to capture. The probe target is derived the same way the server derives its own listen address — `--address` / `MINIO_ADDRESS`, with HTTPS auto-detected from `public.crt` and `private.key` in `--certs-dir` — or overridden wholesale with `--url`. Certificate verification is skipped, matching the kubelet's behavior for HTTPS probes.
Use it as an image `HEALTHCHECK` (exec form, since there may be no shell):
```
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=5s --start-period=2m --start-interval=2s --retries=3 \
CMD ["/usr/bin/silo", "healthcheck", "ready"]
```
or as a Docker Compose healthcheck:
```
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD", "/usr/bin/silo", "healthcheck", "ready"]
interval: 5s
timeout: 5s
retries: 5
```
`silo healthcheck --maintenance cluster` answers the pre-drain question documented below: exit `0` when the node can be taken down safely, exit `1` (HTTP 412) when doing so would lose HA. Keep the `cluster` checks out of per-container liveness probes — they reflect cluster-wide quorum, not this process.
## Liveness probe
This probe always responds with '200 OK'. Only fails if 'etcd' is configured and unreachable. When liveness probe fails, Kubernetes like platforms restart the container.
