Update healthcheck related examples and add head support (#5650)

- Add head method for healthcheck endpoint. Some platforms/users
may use the HTTP Head method to check for health status.

- Add liveness and readiness probe examples in Kubernetes yaml
example docs. Note that readiness probe not added to StatefulSet
example due to https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/27114
