Daniel Nephin	529f252d5c	rpcclient: Add health.Client and use it in http and dns ... This new package provides a client agent implementation of an interface for fetching the health of services. This approach has a number of benefits: 1. It provides a much more explicit interface. Instead of everything dependency on `RPC()` and `Cache.Get()` for many unrelated things they can depend on a type that are named according to the behaviour it provides. 2. It gives us a single place to vary the behaviour and migrate to a new form of RPC (gRPC). The current implementation has two options (cache, or direct RPC), and in the future we will have more. It is also a great opporunity to start adding `context.Context` args to these operations, which in the future will allow us to cancel the operations. 3. As a concequence of the first, in the Server agent where we make these calls we can replace the current in-memory RPC calls with a thin adapter for the real method. This removes the `net/rpc` machinery from the call in places where it is not needed. This new package is quite small right now, but I think we can expect it to grow to a more reasonable size as other RPC calls are replaced. This change also happens to replace two very similar implementations with a single implementation.	4 years ago
