Describe new optional property 'external-signal'. When present in the
system device tree an exernal signal is generated on watchdog timeout.
Describe new optional property 'no-system-reset'. When present in the
system device tree no system reset is to occur on watchdog timeout.
System reset in this case is managed by one of the other watchogs
available.
