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()

This patch restores the start of the built-in/bundled watchdogd. It is
tracked in the `wdog` variable and handled as an exception at shutdown.
This is also a follow-up to 7b74c99, ensuring that we only kill/stop the
built-in watchdog, not any external. External ones can register to be
the controlling watchdogd in the system -- Finit is not the arbiter for
singletons, this is up to the system engineer.

This patch not only greatly simplifies the registration of the built-in
watchdog daemon, it also fixes a nasty race condition with an external
watchdog daemon. The INIT_CMD_WDOG_HELLO could reach finit in reversed
order, leading to the built-in daemon shutting down, but finit killing
the just registered external daemon.
