`linkerd check`, the web dashboard, and Grafana all perform version
checks to validate Linkerd is up to date. It's common for users to
seldom execute these codepaths. This makes it difficult to identify what
versions of Linkerd are currently in use and what environments it is
being run in, which helps prioritize testing and backports.
Introduce a `heartbeat` CronJob to the default Linkerd install. The
cronjob executes every 24 hours, starting from 5 minutes after
`linkerd install` is run.
Example check URL:
https://versioncheck.linkerd.io/version.json?
install-time=1562761177&
k8s-version=v1.15.0&
meshed-pods=8&
rps=3&
source=heartbeat&
uuid=cc4bb700-3314-426a-9f0f-ec588b9df020&

Consolidate timeouts for `linkerd check`
- Moved the creation of contexts from inside the methods targeted by the
checks into a single place in the runCheck() and runCheckRPC() methods
where the context is built using a hard-coded timeout of 30 seconds.
- k8s' client-go doesn't allow passing along contexts, but it let's us
setting the Timeout manually.
- Reworded the description for the --wait option.

linkerd/website#105 introduced a FAQ page, providing resolutions for all
`linkerd check` failures.
Update each check to reference its corresponding section in the FAQ.

Version checks were not validating that the cli version matched the
control plane or data plane versions.
Add checks via the `linkerd check` command to validate the cli is
running the same version as the control and data plane.
Also add types around `channel-version` string parsing and matching. A
consequence being that during development `version.Version` changes from
`undefined` to `dev-undefined`.
