#1675
Is this a bug fix or adding new feature?
Adding new feature

What is this PR about? / Why do we need it?
This PR implements enhanced EFS mount health monitoring to address critical production issues where pods crash-loop when EFS mounts degrade.

Problem: Current health probes only check if the CSI driver process is running, not whether EFS mounts actually work for I/O operations. This causes false positives where pods appear healthy but can't access storage.

Solution:

Real-time monitoring of EFS mount points with actual I/O testing
Multiple health endpoints (/healthz, /healthz/ready, /healthz/live, /healthz/mounts)
Prometheus-style metrics for observability
Enhanced CSI probe integration
Configurable health check intervals and timeouts
Benefits:

Prevents pod crash-loops by detecting mount issues before applications fail
Better observability with detailed mount health metrics
Kubernetes-native integration with readiness/liveness probes
Addresses issues #336, #1411, #1156.

What testing is done?
✅ Comprehensive unit tests for all health monitoring components
✅ Full driver test suite passes (31/31 tests)
✅ HTTP endpoint testing with proper status codes and JSON responses
✅ I/O testing validates actual file operations on mount points
✅ Code formatting (gofmt) and quality (go vet) verified
✅ Binary compilation successful
✅ Zero breaking changes - backward compatible

- Implement real-time EFS mount health monitoring with I/O testing
- Add multiple health endpoints (/healthz, /healthz/ready, /healthz/live, /healthz/mounts)
- Integrate Prometheus-style metrics for monitoring systems
- Prevent pod crash-loops through enhanced readiness/liveness checks
- Add comprehensive test coverage and documentation

This addresses the Kubernetes ecosystem need for modernized health probe
logic to support proper CSI health monitoring, moving beyond basic HTTP
responses to actual mount health assessment.

Resolves: Enhanced health monitoring for production EFS CSI deployments
- Apply gofmt formatting fixes
- Ensure consistent code style across all files
- Ready for code review

Hi @oyiz-michael. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.
