Create forger plugin

[shuse2]

Description

Create a forging helper plugin that provides and notifies forgers with more detailed information.

Motivation

The HTTP API currently have private endpoints to enable/disable delegates, but those should be separated from the HTTP API and expanded to be more useful.

It would be nice to add a heartbeat endpoint, that can be called to ensure the node is healthy. Criteria are TBD but here are some ideas :

• contact with at least X node outside of the cluster recently
• database is reachable (even with embedded db, in the cloud the disk can be disconnected upon network error)
• TTFB < 200ms (the node is surviving a DDoS attack)
