docs: watchdog: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
Convert those documents and prepare them to be part of the kernel API book, as most of the stuff there are related to the Kernel interfaces. Still, in the future, it would make sense to split the docs, as some of the stuff is clearly focused on sysadmin tasks. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

+==========================
+WatchDog Module Parameters
+==========================
+
+This file provides information on the module parameters of many of
+the Linux watchdog drivers. Watchdog driver parameter specs should
+be listed here unless the driver has its own driver-specific information
+file.
+
+See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst for information on
+providing kernel parameters for builtin drivers versus loadable
+modules.
+
+-------------------------------------------------
+watchdog core:
+ open_timeout:
+ Maximum time, in seconds, for which the watchdog framework will take
+ care of pinging a running hardware watchdog until userspace opens the
+ corresponding /dev/watchdogN device. A value of 0 means an infinite
+ timeout. Setting this to a non-zero value can be useful to ensure that
+ either userspace comes up properly, or the board gets reset and allows
+ fallback logic in the bootloader to try something else.
