don't carp about the watchdog command taking too long until after the
watchdog has been patted, and don't carp via warnx(3) unless -S is set
since syslog(3) already logs to standard error otherwise.

The following support was added to watchdog(4):
- Support to query the outstanding timeout.
- Support to set a software pre-timeout function watchdog with an 'action'
- Support to set a software only watchdog with a configurable 'action'
'action' can be a mask specifying a single operation or a combination of:
log(9), printf(9), panic(9) and/or kdb_enter(9).
Support the following in watchdogged:
- Support to utilize the new additions to watchdog(4).
- Support to warn if a watchdog script runs for too long.
- Support for "dry run" where we do not actually arm the watchdog,
but only report on our timing.

generic watchdoc(9) interface.
Make watchdogd(8) perform as watchdog(8) as well, and make it
possible to specify a check command to run, timeout and sleep
periods.
Update watchdog(4) to talk about the generic interface and add
new watchdog(8) page.
This commit has two pieces. One half is the watchdog kernel code which lives
primarily in hardclock() in sys/kern/kern_clock.c. The other half is a userland
daemon which, when run, will keep the watchdog from firing while the userland
is intact and functioning.
