// Package healthcheck contains a monitor which takes a set of liveliness checks
// which it periodically checks. If a check fails after its configured number
// of allowed call attempts, the monitor will send a request to shutdown using
// the function is is provided in its config. Checks are dispatched in their own
// goroutines so that they do not block each other.
