Title: ASGARD-995 - Make the health check pass even if caches are empty

Asgard is not yet architected to allow automatic failover, so having a failing health check doesn't serve a useful purpose at this point. It just stops traffic from reaching the sole Asgard, obscuring the current errors. Create /healthcheck/caches as a second health check URL for more advanced cases than load balancer checks.
