Rename the WATCHDOG option to SW_WATCHDOG and make it use the

generic watchdoc(9) interface.

Make watchdogd(8) perform as watchdog(8) as well, and make it
possible to specify a check command to run, timeout and sleep
periods.

Update watchdog(4) to talk about the generic interface and add
new watchdog(8) page.
