simple python script for checking whether websites are up

- "check_sites.json": specifies the sites to check
takes 2 arguments:
- -f : specifices the path to "check_sites.json"
- -v: specifies "verbose" mode (in non-verbose mode, an email is only sent if any sites DO NOT return a status code of 200)
