Miek Gieben acbcad7b4e reload: use OnRestart (#1709)
* reload: use OnRestart

Close the listener on OnRestart for health and metrics so the default
setup function can setup the listener when the plugin is "starting up".

Lightly test with some SIGUSR1-ing. Also checked the reload plugin with
this, seems fine:

.com.:1043

^C2018/04/20 15:02:06 [INFO] SIGINT: Shutting down

With this corefile:
.com {
  proxy . 127.0.0.1:53
  prometheus :9054
  whoami
  reload
}

. {
  proxy . 127.0.0.1:53
  prometheus :9054
  whoami
  reload
}

The prometheus port was 9053, changed that to 54 so reload would pick it
up.

From a cursory look it seems this also fixes:
Fixes #1604 #1618 #1686 #1492

* At least make it test

* Use onfinalshutdown

* reload: add reload test

This test #1604 adn right now fails.

* Address review comments

* Add bug section explaining things a bit

* compile tests

* Fix tests

* fixes

* slightly less crazy

* try to make prometheus setup less confusing

* Use ephermal port for test

* Don't use the listener

* These are shared between goroutines, just use the boolean in the main
  structure.
* Fix text in the reload README,
* Set addr to TODO once stopping it
* Morph fturb's comment into test, to test reload and scrape health and
  metric endpoint

# health
## Name
*health* - enables a health check endpoint.
## Description
By enabling *health* any plugin that implements
[healt.Healther interface](https://godoc.org/github.com/coredns/coredns/plugin/health#Healther)
will be queried for it's health. The combined health is exported, by default, on port 8080/health .
## Syntax
~~~
health [ADDRESS]
~~~
Optionally takes an address; the default is `:8080`. The health path is fixed to `/health`. The
health endpoint returns a 200 response code and the word "OK" when this server is healthy. It returns
a 503. *health* periodically (1s) polls plugins that exports health information. If any of the
plugins signals that it is unhealthy, the server will go unhealthy too. Each plugin that supports
health checks has a section "Health" in their README.
More options can be set with this extended syntax:
~~~
health [ADDRESS] {
lameduck DURATION
}
~~~
* Where `lameduck` will make the process unhealthy then *wait* for **DURATION** before the process
shuts down.
If you have multiple Server Blocks and need to export health for each of the plugins, you must run
health endpoints on different ports:
~~~ corefile
com {
whoami
health :8080
}
net {
erratic
health :8081
}
~~~
## Plugins
Any plugin that implements the Healther interface will be used to report health.
## Metrics
If monitoring is enabled (via the *prometheus* directive) then the following metric is exported:
* `coredns_health_request_duration_seconds{}` - duration to process a /health query. As this should
be a local operation it should be fast. A (large) increases in this duration indicates the
CoreDNS process is having trouble keeping up with its query load.
Note that this metric *does not* have a `server` label, because being overloaded is a symptom of
the running process, *not* a specific server.
## Examples
Run another health endpoint on http://localhost:8091.
~~~ corefile
. {
health localhost:8091
}
~~~
Set a lameduck duration of 1 second:
~~~ corefile
. {
health localhost:8092 {
lameduck 1s
}
}
~~~
