Protect the watchdog daemon against swap OOM killer. This is similar to
SVN r199804 which added protection to sshd, cron, syslogd, and inetd.

Staticify local variables.

While I'm there also add a 'static' keyword for a function to make it
consistent with prototype.

Don't hide an error if the initial attempt to program a watchdog from
within watchdogd(8) fails. This is also consistent with watchdog(8).

Don't exit from watchdogd on receiving a signal if we cannot stop the watchdog.
That'll require -KILL. This avoids resetting your system on one of the
watchdogs that you cannot disable.

Fix usage().

Report any errors we might see when disabling the watchdog.

Complain about extra arguments so people don't get surprised
if they type "watchdog 0"

Pidfiles should be created with permission preventing users from opening
them for reading. When user can open file for reading, he can also
flock(2) it, which can lead to confusions.

Use pidfile(3) in watchdogd(8).

When disarming a watchdog by using an interval of WD_TO_NEVER a non-zero
return value of the ioctl doesn't indicate that the command has failed
so don't let watchdog(8) return an error in this case.

Disable memory locking that could keep watchdogd from deadlocking itself
if the swap subsystem failed.

Requested by: phk

Now that mlockall(2) is unbroken, use it to keep watchdogd(8) permanently
out of swap.

Bump the copyright year since I forgot last time.

Update comments to reflect changes made by phk. Also no longer need
<sys/sysctl.h>.

Rename the WATCHDOG option to SW_WATCHDOG and make it use the
generic watchdoc(9) interface.

- Add a software watchdog facility.

This commit has two pieces. One half is the watchdog kernel code which lives
primarily in hardclock() in sys/kern/kern_clock.c. The other half is a userland
daemon which, when run, will keep the watchdog from firing while the userland
is intact and functioning.
