Add *ready* plugin (#2616)
Add a ready plugin that allows plugin to signal when they are ready.
Once a plugin is ready it is not queried again.

This uses same mechanism as the health plugin: each plugin needs to
implement an interface.

Implement readines for the *erratic* plugin to aid in testing.

Add README.md and tests moduled after the health plugin; which will be
relegated to just providing process health. In similar vein to health
this is a process wide setting.

With this Corefile:
~~~
. {
    erratic
    whoami
    ready
}

bla {
    erratic
    whoami
}
~~~

ready will lead to:

~~~ sh
% curl localhost:8181/ready
% dig @localhost -p 1053 mx example.org
% curl localhost:8181/ready
OK%
~~~

Meanwhile CoreDNS logs:

~~~

bla.:1053

*ready* can be used in multiple server blocks and will do the right
thing; query all those plugins from all server blocks for readiness.
This does a similar thing to the prometheus plugin.

ready

Name

ready - enables a readiness check HTTP endpoint.

Description

By enabling ready an HTTP endpoint on port 8181 will return 200 OK, when all plugins that are able to signal readiness have done so. If some are not ready yet the endpoint will return a 503 with the body containing the list of plugins that are not ready. Once a plugin has signaled it is ready it will not be queried again.

Each Server Block that enables the ready plugin will have the plugins in that server block report readiness into the /ready endpoint that runs on the same port.

Syntax

ready [ADDRESS]

ready optionally takes an address; the default is :8181. The path is fixed to /ready. The readiness endpoint returns a 200 response code and the word "OK" when this server is ready. It returns a 503 otherwise.

Plugins

Any plugin wanting to signal readiness will need to implement the ready.Readiness interface by implementing a method Ready() bool that returns true when the plugin is ready and false otherwise.

Examples

Let ready report readiness for both the . and example.org servers (assuming the whois plugin also exports readiness):

. {
    ready
    erratic
}

example.org {
    ready
    whoami
}

Run ready on a different port.

. {
    ready localhost:8091
}
