Subject: watchdog: core: add restart handler support

Many watchdog drivers implement the same code to register a restart
handler. This patch provides a generic way to set such a function.

The patch adds a new restart watchdog operation. If a restart priority
greater than 0 is needed, the driver can call
watchdog_set_restart_priority to set it.
