Availability Group Best Practice Checks

[JamesFerebee]

Add Best Practices report section to:

1) Check if hadr endpoint is enabled/running. If not, flag it. 2) Report if any databases in an AG are showing unhealthy. If so, flag it. (see AG dashboard for reference)

Possibly query to use:

SELECT dc.database_name, d.synchronization_health_desc, d.synchronization_state_desc, d.database_state_desc 
FROM sys.dm_hadr_database_replica_states d 
JOIN sys.availability_databases_cluster dc 
  ON d.group_database_id = dc.group_database_id AND d.is_local = 1
