Miek Gieben d8714e64e4 Remove the word middleware (#1067)
* Rename middleware to plugin

first pass; mostly used 'sed', few spots where I manually changed
text.

This still builds a coredns binary.

* fmt error

* Rename AddMiddleware to AddPlugin

* Readd AddMiddleware to remain backwards compat

# health
This module enables a simple health check endpoint. By default it will listen on port 8080.
## 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 CoreDNS is healthy. It returns
a 503. *health* periodically (1s) polls plugin that exports health information. If any of the
plugin signals that it is unhealthy, the server will go unhealthy too. Each plugin that
supports health checks has a section "Health" in their README.
## Examples
Run another health endpoint on http://localhost:8091.

health localhost:8091
