Adds the ability to simply check whether a TCP socket accepts
connections to determine if it is healthy. This is a light-weight -
though less comprehensive than scripting - method of checking network
service health.
The check parameter `tcp` should be set to the `address:port`
combination for the service to be tested. Supports both IPv6 and IPv4,
in the case of a hostname that resolves to both, connections will be
attempted via both protocol versions, with the first successful
connection returning a successful check result.
Example check:
```json
{
"check": {
"id": "ssh",
"name": "SSH (TCP)",
"tcp": "example.com:22",
"interval": "10s"
}
}
```
This status must be one of the valid check statuses: 'passing', 'warning', 'critical', 'unknown'.
If the status field is not present or the empty string, the default of 'critical' is used.
