Add healthcheck option 'measure_latency' for Route53 provider
Route53 allows to monitor latency information on the dashboard
and using CloudWatch. While that is a nice to have function,
it is not necessary for a DNS failover scenario and increases
Route 53 costs.
To maintain backward compatibility, the default for this option
when ommited is true.
- Everyone else gets an "A" record of 111.111.111.5
- Everyone else gets an "A" record of 111.111.111.5
### Health Checks
Octodns will automatically set up a monitor and check for **https://<ip_address>/_dns** and check for a 200 response.
Octodns will automatically set up monitors for each IP and check for a 200 response for **https://<ip_address>/_dns**.
These checks can be configured by adding a `healthcheck` configuration to the record:
```yaml
---
test:
geo:
AS:
- 1.2.3.4
EU:
- 2.3.4.5
octodns:
healthcheck:
host: my-host-name
measure_latency: 0
path: /dns-health-check
port: 443
protocol: HTTPS
```
| Key | Description | Default |
|--|--|--|
| host | FQDN for host header and SNI | - |
| path | path to check | _dns |
| port | port to check | 443 |
| protocol | HTTP/HTTPS | HTTPS |
| measure_latency | Route53 only: Show latency in AWS console | true |
