In some cases it is useful to compile support for U-Boot command 'wdt'
without starting HW watchdog in early U-Boot phase. For example when user
want to start watchdog only on demand by some boot script.

This change adds a new compile option WATCHDOG_AUTOSTART to control whether
U-Boot should automatically start watchdog during init phase or not.

This option is enabled by default as it was was default behavior prior
introducing this new change. When compiling U-Boot users can decide to turn
this option off.
