Misconfigured, broken, or blocked DNS will often present as
"internet is broken'" to the end user. This plumbs the health tracker
into the dns manager and forwarder and adds a health warning
with a 5 second delay that is raised on failures in the forwarder and
lowered on successes.

We added some Warnables for DERP failure situations, but their Text currently spits out the DERP region ID ("10") in the UI, which is super ugly. It would be better to provide the RegionName of the DERP region that is failing. We can do so by storing a reference to the last-known DERP map in the health package whenever we fetch one, and using it when generating the notification text.
This way, the following message...
> Tailscale could not connect to the relay server '10'. The server might be temporarily unavailable, or your Internet connection might be down.
becomes:
> Tailscale could not connect to the 'Seattle' relay server. The server might be temporarily unavailable, or your Internet connection might be down.
which is a lot more user-friendly.

Updates tailscale/tailscale#4136
This PR is the first round of work to move from encoding health warnings as strings and use structured data instead. The current health package revolves around the idea of Subsystems. Each subsystem can have (or not have) a Go error associated with it. The overall health of the backend is given by the concatenation of all these errors.
This PR polishes the concept of Warnable introduced by @bradfitz a few weeks ago. Each Warnable is a component of the backend (for instance, things like 'dns' or 'magicsock' are Warnables). Each Warnable has a unique identifying code. A Warnable is an entity we can warn the user about, by setting (or unsetting) a WarningState for it. Warnables have:
- an identifying Code, so that the GUI can track them as their WarningStates come and go
- a Title, which the GUIs can use to tell the user what component of the backend is broken
- a Text, which is a function that is called with a set of Args to generate a more detailed error message to explain the unhappy state
Additionally, this PR also begins to send Warnables and their WarningStates through LocalAPI to the clients, using ipn.Notify messages. An ipn.Notify is only issued when a warning is added or removed from the Tracker.
In a next PR, we'll get rid of subsystems entirely, and we'll start using structured warnings for all errors affecting the backend functionality.
