Nitish Tiwari e5fb6294a7 Remove healthcheck script for Docker image (#8095) 
There are multiple possibilities for running MinIO within
a container e.g. configurable address, non-root user etc.
This makes it difficult to identify actual IP / Port to
use to check healthcheck status from within a container.

It is simpler to use external healthcheck mechanisms
like healthcheck command in docker-compose to check
for MinIO health status. This is similar to how checks
work in Kubernetes as well.

This PR removes the healthcheck script used inside
Docker container and ad documentation on how to
use docker-compose based healthcheck mechanism.

MinIO is a cloud-native application designed to scale in a sustainable manner in multi-tenant environments. Orchestration platforms provide perfect launchpad for MinIO to scale. Below is the list of MinIO deployment documents for various orchestration platforms:

Orchestration platforms
Docker Swarm
Docker Compose
Kubernetes
DC/OS

Why is MinIO cloud-native?

The term cloud-native revolves around the idea of applications deployed as micro services, that scale well. It is not about just retrofitting monolithic applications onto modern container based compute environment. A cloud-native application is portable and resilient by design, and can scale horizontally by simply replicating. Modern orchestration platforms like Swarm, Kubernetes and DC/OS make replicating and managing containers in huge clusters easier than ever.

While containers provide isolated application execution environment, orchestration platforms allow seamless scaling by helping replicate and manage containers. MinIO extends this by adding isolated storage environment for each tenant.

MinIO is built ground up on the cloud-native premise. With features like erasure-coding, distributed and shared setup, it focuses only on storage and does it very well. While, it can be scaled by just replicating MinIO instances per tenant via an orchestration platform.

In a cloud-native environment, scalability is not a function of the application but the orchestration platform.

In a typical modern infrastructure deployment, application, database, key-store, etc. already live in containers and are managed by orchestration platforms. MinIO brings robust, scalable, AWS S3 compatible object storage to the lot.
