[mapguide-internals] Server status/Ping API

[Martin Morrison]

In thinking back to some hung services over the past few years, I would think we would want to verify that a SMALL mapimage can be returned.   This would be a better test to verify MapGuide is actually working for a client.

I think it would be cool to return API version (2.1, 2.2, etc) as part
of this, but not rev/build.

Would be hesitant to return performance metrics through a non-authenticated api.
