Summary
Allow
coderdto start with an empty base DERP map when built-in DERP is disabledand no static DERP map is configured, so DERP can come from workspace proxies
after startup.
Also add a DERP healthcheck warning when no DERP servers are currently available
at runtime.
Why
The current startup path rejects an empty DERP map. That blocks the enterprise
case where:
Relaxing startup fixes that bootstrap path, but it also means a deployment can
start successfully while still having no usable DERP available. The healthcheck
warning closes that visibility gap.
What changed
--derp-config-urlis unset--derp-config-pathis unsettailnet.NewDERPMap()strict; the exception is only in startup and thematching test harness

Notes
The new healthcheck signal is a warning, not an error, because an empty DERP map
can be a temporary state while a DERP-enabled workspace proxy is coming online.
