watchdog: Make set_timeout function optional

Browse Source 
For some watchdogs, the watchdog driver handles timeout changes without
explicitly setting any registers. In this situation, the watchdog driver
might only set the 'timeout' variable but do nothing else.
This can as well be handled by the infrastructure, so make the set_timeout
callback optional. If WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT is configured but the .set_timeout
callback is not available, update the timeout variable in the
infrastructure code.

because the watchdog does not necessarily has a 1 second resolution).
(Note: the WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT needs to be set in the options field of the
watchdog's info structure).
If the watchdog driver does not have to perform any action but setting the
watchdog_device.timeout, this callback can be omitted.
If set_timeout is not provided but, WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT is set, the watchdog
infrastructure updates the timeout value of the watchdog_device internally
to the requested value.
* get_timeleft: this routines returns the time that's left before a reset.
* restart: this routine restarts the machine. It returns 0 on success or a
negative errno code for failure.
