watchdog: core: add reboot notifier support

Browse source 
Many watchdog drivers register a reboot notifier in order to stop the
watchdog on system reboot. Thus we can factorize this code in the
watchdog core.

For that purpose, a new notifier block is added in watchdog_device for
internal use only, as well as a new watchdog_stop_on_reboot helper
function.

If this helper is called, watchdog core registers the related notifier
block and will stop the watchdog when SYS_HALT or SYS_DOWN is received.

Since this operation can be critical on some platforms, abort the device
registration if the reboot notifier registration fails.

This routine returns zero on success and a negative errno code for failure.
To disable the watchdog on reboot, the user must call the following helper:
static inline void watchdog_stop_on_reboot(struct watchdog_device *wdd);
