Fix healthcheck handler to check errors in local disks only (#6184)

Healthcheck handler in current implementation was
performing ListBuckets() to check for liveness of Minio
service. ListBuckets() implementation on the other hand
doesn't do quorum based listing and if one of the disks
returned error, an I/O error it would be lead to kubernetes
taking the minio pod down prematurely even if the disk
is not local to that minio server.

The reason is ListBuckets() call cannot be trusted to
provide us the valid information that we need, Minio is a
clustered application which is designed to handle disk
failures. Error on one of the disks doesn't mean the pod
should become fully non-operational.

This PR attempts to fix this by only checking for alive
disks which are local to each setup and also by simply
performing a Stat() operation, if the Stat() returned
error on all disks local to a particular server then
we can let kubernetes safely take it down, until then
we should be operational.
