#31159: Monitor anti-censorship www services with prometheus

In the anti-censorship team we currently monitor
[https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/AntiCensorshipTeam/InfrastructureMonitoring
several services] with sysmon. We recently discovered that sysmon doesn't
seem to follow HTTP 301 redirects. This means that if a web service dies
but the 301 redirect still works (e.g., BridgeDB is dead but its apache
reverse proxy still works), sysmon won't notice.
Now that prometheus is running, we should fill this monitoring gap by
testing the following web sites:
* https://bridges.torproject.org
* https://snowflake.torproject.org
* https://gettor.torproject.org
Our test should ensure that these sites serve the content we expect, e.g.,
make sure that bridges.tp.o contains the string "BridgeDB" in its HTML.
Testing the HTTP status code does not suffice: if BridgeDB is down, the
reverse proxy may still respond.
I wonder if prometheus could also help us with #12802 by sending an email
to bridges@tp.o and making sure that it responds with at least one bridge?
