Added status view

Fixes #29

I'll say the same thing I said to George.

Instead of copying this code from repo to repo, we should just put it in a python package and take it on as a dependency. This would be generally useful to the community at large and useful for us in particular, as we would benefit from only performing updates in a single place.

(also, like I told George, if you feel like this is pressing and we don't have time to deduplicate code, then a begrudging :+1:)

[giocalitri]

I'll let @pdpinch decide

I thought you guys told me this morning that there actually some significant differences between the ccxcon and teachersportal versions of this -- because of a different range of services that needed to report status?

[justinabrahms]

No. They are identical. CCXCon has more checks it will need to do (including redis checking), but it's a strict superset.

Also, that redis checking is in lore too, iirc.

@pdpinch The difference is just in the services that are tested in the view.
