Add a new exit-timeout option to watchdogd.

Watchdogd currently disables the watchdog when it exits, such as during
rc.shutdown processing. That leaves the system vulnerable to getting hung
or deadlocked during the shutdown part of a reboot. For embedded systems
it's especially important that the hardware watchdog always be active. It
can also be useful for servers that are administered remotely.

The new -x <seconds> option tells watchdogd to program the watchdog with the
given timeout just before exiting. The -x value can be longer or shorter
than the -t normal time value, to allow for various exceptional conditions
at shutdown such as allowing extra time for buffer flushing.

The exit value is also used internally in the "failsafe" handling (which
used to just disable the watchdog), on the theory that if you're using this
option, "safe" means having the watchdog always running, not disabled.

The default is still to disable the watchdog on exit if -x is not specified.

Default to use 10 seconds as nap interval instead of 1.

Previously, we have a nap interval of 1 second while we have a timeout of
128 seconds by default, which could be an overkill, and for some hardware
the patting action may be expensive.

Note that the choice of nap interval is still arbitrary. We preferred
a safe value where even when the system is very heavily loaded, the
watchdog should not shoot the system down if it's not really hung.
According to the manual page of Linux's watchdog daemon, the nap interval
time of theirs is 10 seconds, which seems to be a reasonable value --
according to Intel documentation AP-725 (Document Number: 292273-001),
ICH5's maximum timeout is about 37.5 seconds, which the ichwd(4) driver
would set when we requested 128 seconds (although it should probably
feed back this as an error and do not set the timeout). Since that's
the shortest maximum value, 10 seconds seems to be a right choice for
us too.
