watchdog: add gpio watchdog driver

A rather common kind of external watchdog circuit is one that is kept
alive by toggling a gpio. Add a driver for handling such a watchdog.

The corresponding linux driver apparently has support for some
watchdog circuits which can be disabled by tri-stating the gpio, but I
have never actually encountered such a chip in the wild; the whole
point of adding an external watchdog is usually that it is not in any
way under software control. For forward-compatibility, and to make DT
describe the hardware, the current driver only supports devices that
have the always-running property. I went a little back and forth on
whether I should fail ->probe or only ->start, and ended up deciding
->start was the right place.

The compatible string is probably a little odd as it has nothing to do
with linux per se - however, I chose that to make .dts snippets
reusable between device trees used with U-Boot and linux, and this is
the (only) compatible string that linux' corresponding driver and DT
binding accepts. I have asked whether one should/could add "wdt-gpio"
to that binding, but the answer was no:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAL_JsqKEGaFpiFV_oAtE+S_bnHkg4qry+bhx2EDs=NSbVf_giA@mail.gmail.com/

If someone feels strongly about this, I can certainly remove the
"linux," part from the string - it probably wouldn't the only place where
one can't reuse a DT snippet as-is between linux and U-Boot.

GPIO watchdog timer
Describes a simple watchdog timer which is reset by toggling a gpio.
Required properties:
- compatible: Must be "linux,wdt-gpio".
- gpios: gpio to toggle when wdt driver reset method is called.
- always-running: Boolean property indicating that the watchdog cannot
be disabled. At present, U-Boot only supports this kind of GPIO
watchdog.
Example:
gpio-wdt {
gpios = <&gpio0 1 0>;
compatible = "linux,wdt-gpio";
always-running;
};
