watchdog: Enable --with-watchdog[=DEV] and improve log messages

This patch changes the configure option to enable the built-in watchdog
from --enable-watchdog to --with-watchdog[=DEV].  This is the convention
for features that take arguments.

Also, improve log messages to aid debugging when finit-watchdogd does
not start properly.  This means flushing logs to syslogd with closelog()
