feat: enable subnet deployment and activation in configuration

- Updated `ipc-subnet-config.yml` to set `deploy_subnet` and `activate_subnet` to true, allowing for automatic deployment and activation of subnet and gateway contracts during initialization.
- Added preflight checks in `health.sh` to ensure necessary dependencies and binaries are available before starting storage services, improving robustness and user guidance for setup.
