HTTP API: make GET /api/aliveness-test a no-op

This follows the decision that was made for
'rabbitm-diagnostics node_health_check' which
is a no-op as of 4.0.0 following a few years of
deprecation.

The justification is very similar:

1. There is no such thing as "One True Health Check".
   A single health check is too coarse-grained to
   explain what specifically is not right about
   cluster state
2. Indivual fine-grained health checks have been
   available for a few years now, see
   https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/monitoring#health-checks
3. This particular check tests something that
   effectively never fails, based on my 14+
   years of RabbitMQ contributions and user support
   of all shapes and forms
4. This check uses a deprecated feature: non-exclusive
   non-durable/transient classic queues

If something about this health check is worth
preserving, we can always add a new one
under GET /api/health/checks/*

Closes #13047.
