Hey,

I've created a watchdog which can be enabled via cli and defaults to off for nRF52 based repeaters. For all other archs are stubs available which are (currently) doing nothing - so there needs to be some code implemented later for esp32 and co.

This patch would mitigate together with the atomic write patch (#2386) issues with failed writes on the internal flash off the p1 - see #2283

In order to test it i provoked a HardFault on the repeater - it came up after 10 seconds again:

This watchdog would e.g. also fix this bug #2320 without adding unnecessary reboots on the devices. For debugging or testing the watchdog can be disabled by setting the timeout to 0 (which is also the default).

@oltaco: could you please review the patches?

…n can be easier added for other platforms later
Use #ifdef just for setting/getting - this can be removed if the watchdog is implemented on the other platforms.
