fix: stop /api/health gating overall status on the vestigial local_db import pipeline

Browse Source 
Traced local_db (bgp_routes/rpki_roas) 2026-07-17: two systemd import
timers on Erik have run "successfully" daily since creation (2026-04-28)
while doing zero real work -- bgp-importer's Route Views source URL is
invalid (parses 0 routes every run, the 36 rows are a one-time manual
seed), rpki-importer's feed URLs are both dead and it silently falls
back to 5 hardcoded fake ROAs re-upserted daily. The watchdog meant to
catch this has itself failed every run since creation (Postgres auth
error), so nothing ever alerted.

No user-facing endpoint reads from local_db -- only this health check
and the unused /api/bgp route do. Gating overall `status` on
bgp_routes/rpki_roas row counts meant /api/health reported "degraded"
permanently for a dependency nothing actually needs, which could mask
a real future degradation behind the noise. Still reports the raw
local_db stats (including its own `healthy` sub-field) for diagnostic
visibility; only removed it from the top-level status gate.

Verified live on Erik: status now reports "ok" when RPKI/ASPA freshness
is fine, instead of permanently "degraded".
