Readiness api endpoint
Feature description
worker API that can determine whether worker is up-and-running
Motivating example
when kubernetes is running a pod it has several probes to determine its status (startup, readines, liveness)
while I could touch a file on an event handler this would require ephemeral storage on a read-only filesystem.
A useful pro feature could be to allow for an endpoint /readiness which can respond with a 200 when worker is up and running.

Supporting development
I [tick all that apply]:
- [ ] am interested in building this feature myself
- [x] am interested in collaborating on building this feature
- [x] am willing to help testing this feature before it's released
- [ ] am willing to write a test-driven test suite for this feature (before it exists)
- [x] am a Graphile sponsor ❤️
- [ ] have an active support or consultancy contract with Graphile
It's possible to build a system for this based on the eventing system https://github.com/graphile/worker/pull/155 - I've done so for clients before. And yes, this is one of the planned features for Pro; Worker itself will never come with a bundled HTTP server.
