The change adds panic watchdog pretimeout governor, on watchdog
pretimeout event the kernel shall panic.
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
watchdog_unregister_governor() function.

Changes from v3 to v4:
* returned tristate option back, it is safe to have it, because
the single governor is the default one, thus it is built-in, but with
the introduction of another governor it should be tristate
* removed "panic panic" duplication in a user's message (Wolfram)
* added minor changes to watchdog_pretimeout.c to support built time
selectable default governor
Changes from v2 to v3:
* temporarily removed tristate option, the governor can be built-in only
Changes from v1 to v2:
* removed #ifdef CONFIG_WATCHDOG_PRETIMEOUT_DEFAULT_GOV_PANIC,
now this selection is done in a centralized manner,
* added module owner reference to count users of the governor,
* slightly improved description of the governors in Kconfig.
