Short-circuit on failed healthchecks

Before the full set of checks was always executed even if it was clear
that it would have failed because of one of the checks failing.

Avoid running the additional checks when one of the checks is failing
for any reason and therefore running the full set would not be useful.

Introduce the new status NOT_RUN that clarifies that the check was
not executed because it would have not change the overall status.

This change allows a Gerrit to avoid running extra checks when the
system is already struggling. Having too may healthchecks could
actually prevent the system to become healthy again.
Minimizing the execution of checks on a struggling system is paramount
for allowing it to recover more quickly.
