Port the Swift healthcheck middleware

Registered by Paul Bourke

Swift contains a small piece of middleware that can be used as a first port of call to determine if the service is responding. It allows a user to perform a GET to http://<host>:<port>/healthcheck, which should respond with a 200 OK. When originally submitting this for addition to Glance, Brian Waldon suggested this should be part of openstack-common.

    Add healthcheck middleware from Swift

Commented in the review above. Unclear to me that this is better than just supporting HEAD on the top-level entrypoint of services. Also wondering about whether we add /healthcheck to the API spec of all services.
