Watchdog timer

The watchdog timer is used to reset the processor, when the software gets blocked.
Once enabled, the 32bit watchdog timer register gets decremented every clock cycle. If the Toggle Watchdog C-Node is executed, the watchdog timer register is reloaded with the value given by the Enable Watchdog C-Node.
If the watchdog timer register reaches zero before it is toggled the processor is reseted and the flashed program is booted and executed from start.
