watchdog: Introduce watchdog_stop_on_unregister helper

Browse Source 
Many watchdog drivers explicitly stop the watchdog when unregistering it.
While it is unclear if this is actually needed (the whatdog should not be
running at that time if it can be stopped), introduce a helper to
explicitly stop the watchdog in the watchdog core when unregistering it.
This helps reducing driver code size while retaining functionality.
