monero: check every five minutes again
The probes, the unit check and the public checks ran once a day with 26h
windows, justified as "a multi-week initial sync on a rotating disk". That
stopped being true: the node is synced, and a cold explorer page now renders
in 29s and a warm one in 0.2s - polling every 5 minutes is what keeps it warm.
A dead monerod could go unnoticed for a day.

Back to the standard 5m cadence and 11m heartbeat; the per-host
service_health override on monerod-box is gone.

# Domain expiry, DNS correctness, and public endpoint reachability.
#
# These are the first checks in the estate that PULL rather than push, and that
# is the right way round for them: all three are about how the outside world
# sees us, so they must be measured from outside. Gatus polls from the
# observability host and needs nothing installed anywhere else - there is no
# script, no timer and no token, because nothing is reporting in.
#
# That also means these have no heartbeat. A heartbeat answers "did the thing
# that was supposed to report in do so"; when Gatus does the checking itself,
# failure is immediate and self-evident.
