The current watchdog has the following issues:

- it creates a false positive signal until it detects missing transitions.
- if disabled, it can create a false positive signal (ok-out true while no 
transitions).
- the manpage is unclear wrt edge- versus level triggered meaning of enable-in, 
and the precise meaning of ok-out.

I propose to change the watchdog component as follows:

- it should under no circumstances create a positive signal when the signal(s) 
are not present. This means there will be a turn-on delay until all signals are 
positively identified.
- it should immediately turn off ok-out if disabled.
- clarify the manpage.

Frankly I think this should be fixed soon. Opinions?
