feat: give the remaining unprobed workloads a health check
Continues the paperless change. Under the split where gatus watches from
outside and Kubernetes watches the pods, a container with no probe at all is
the hole: it stays Ready while dead, and nothing downstream can tell.

Not every one of them got a probe, and the ones that did not are the more
interesting half.

Added:

  whisper, openwakeword       tcpSocket on the wyoming port. These speak a raw
  speech-to-phrase            TCP protocol with no HTTP surface and no health
                              verb, so accepting a connection is all that can
                              be asserted from outside the process. Weak, but
                              the previous state was nothing at all, and a dead
                              server kept being routed speech.

                              speech-to-phrase gets a startupProbe rather than
                              a long liveness delay: it runs --retrain-on-start
                              and retraining takes as long as it takes. The
                              gate allows 10 minutes and only then hands over,
                              so a slow retrain is not mistaken for a hang
                              while a real hang is still caught in a minute.

  ftp-scanner                 tcpSocket on the FTP control port. This is the
                              failure that hides best: if vsftpd dies, the
                              scanner cannot deposit anything and paperless
                              just sees an empty consume directory, which looks
                              exactly like nobody having scanned.

  code-server                 httpGet /healthz. Answers 200 whenever the server
                              is up; its body reports session heartbeat, which
                              is not health — an idle editor reports "expired"
                              and is fine.

  external-secrets            livenessProbe/readinessProbe enabled through the
                              chart's own values, which is also what starts its
                              health server: without them the controller
                              exposes nothing but a metrics port. A wedged
                              reconciler stayed Ready while every ExternalSecret
                              silently stopped refreshing.

Deliberately left alone:

  protonmail-bridge           Already carries a rationale: the bridge can be
                              offline while the user re-authenticates, and
                              paperless retries mail fetches itself. A liveness
                              probe would restart it mid-re-auth. That is a
                              considered decision, not an omission.

  bridge-tls-proxy            socat binds 127.0.0.1:11143. Probes are dialled
                              by the kubelet against the pod IP, so there is
                              nothing for it to reach.

  mariadb-operator            Its chart exposes no probe values and no health
                              bind address. Forcing them through a postRenderer
                              would break on the next chart bump, so it stays
                              unprobed and this records why.

  ak-outpost-* (11)           Pod specs are owned by the goauthentik.io
                              operator; nothing here can add to them.
