Subject: [PATCH] fix/indexed-search: add livenessProbe to zoekt-webserver to
 prevent hung pods

Without a livenessProbe, zoekt-webserver pods that crash silently remain
in an unhealthy state indefinitely. The probe acts as a backup to the
in-process watchdog (failureThreshold=10, period=60s > watchdog's 9x60s
detection window).
