Node status on the public dashboard

Some node providers shared the fruits of their hard work, and made it easier to get notified if a node becomes unhealthy:

https://www.aviatelabs.co/node-monitor -- turn key solution, get an email if a node becomes unhealthy

https://github.com/aviate-labs/node-monitor -- run your own node monitor
