watchdog: core: dt: add support for the timeout-sec dt property

Add support for watchdog drivers to initialize/set the timeout field
of the watchdog_device structure. The timeout field is initialised
either with the module timeout parameter value (if valid) or with the
timeout-sec dt property (if valid). If both are invalid the initial
value is unchanged.
