The change adds an option to a user with CONFIG_WATCHDOG_SYSFS and
CONFIG_WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_GOV enabled to get information about all
registered watchdog pretimeout governors by reading watchdog device
attribute named "pretimeout_available_governors".

The change converts watchdog device attribute "pretimeout_governor" from
read-only to read-write type to allow users to select a desirable
watchdog pretimeout governor in runtime, e.g.
% echo -n panic > /sys/..../watchdog/watchdog0/pretimeout
To get this working a list of registered pretimeout governors is created
and a new helper function watchdog_pretimeout_governor_set() is exported
to watchdog_dev.c.
If a selected governor is gone, a watchdog device pretimeout notification
is delegated to a default built-in pretimeout governor.

The change adds panic watchdog pretimeout governor, on watchdog
pretimeout event the kernel shall panic. In general watchdog
pretimeout event means that something essentially bad is going on the
system, for example a process scheduler stalls or watchdog feeder is
killed due to OOM, so printing out information attendant to panic and
before likely unavoidable reboot caused by a watchdog may help to
determine a root cause of the issue.

The change adds noop watchdog pretimeout governor, only an
informational message is printed to the kernel log buffer when a
watchdog triggers a pretimeout event.
While introducing the first pretimeout governor the selected design
assumes that the default pretimeout governor is selected by its name
and it is always built-in, thus the default pretimeout governor can
not be unregistered and the correspondent check can be removed from
the watchdog_unregister_governor() function.

The change adds a simple watchdog pretimeout framework infrastructure,
its purpose is to allow users to select a desired handling of watchdog
pretimeout events, which may be generated by some watchdog devices.
A user selects a default watchdog pretimeout governor during
compilation stage.
Watchdogs with WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT capability now have one more device
attribute in sysfs, pretimeout_governor attribute is intended to display
the selected watchdog pretimeout governor.
The framework has no impact at runtime on watchdog devices with no
WDIOF_PRETIMEOUT capability set.
