[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/2]: common: Add a watchdog CLI command

A watchdog command to enable the watchdog with a timeout or disable it
can sometimes be useful. Add that. This also adds a common API for
enabling or disabling watchdogs. The API is simple:

        void watchdog_enable(unsigned int timeout);
        void watchdog_disable(void);

disabling the watchdog might or might not be possible depending on the
hardware, and the timeout range can also vary in the same way.
