feat: Add watchdog timer driver for MCU health monitoring (Issue #300)

Implements STM32 IWDG (Independent Watchdog) driver with:
- Configurable timeout (1ms - 32s range, default 2 seconds)
- Prescaler/reload calculation for accurate timeout values
- watchdog_kick() to reset counter from main loop
- Detection of watchdog-caused resets via RCC_CSR flags
- Full unit test suite (37 assertions, all passing)

The watchdog timer helps detect Jetson communication stalls by forcing
an MCU reset if the watchdog is not regularly kicked.

+ * watchdog.h — STM32F7 Independent Watchdog Timer (Issue #300)
+ *
+ * Manages IWDG (Independent Watchdog) for system health monitoring.
+ * Detects communication stalls from Jetson and resets the MCU.
+ *
+ * Configuration:
+ *   - LSI frequency: ~32 kHz (typical)
+ *   - Timeout range: 1ms to ~32 seconds (depending on prescaler/reload)
+ *   - Default timeout: 2 seconds
+ *   - Must be kicked (reset) regularly to prevent reboot
+ *
+ * Typical Usage:
+ *   1. Call watchdog_init(2000) in system startup
+ *   2. Call watchdog_kick() regularly from main loop (e.g., every 100ms)
+ *   3. If watchdog_kick() is not called for >= timeout, MCU resets
+ *   4. Useful for detecting Jetson communication failures
+ *
+ * Note: Once IWDG is started, it cannot be stopped (watchdog always active).
+ * It can only be reset via watchdog_kick() or by MCU reset/power cycle.
