-watchdog is a simple wrapper around -device, but it includes quite
a bit of code to register and list available watchdog devices.
Add a category for watchdogs so that they are listed as such in
'-device help', and deprecate it.

For -watchdog-action, make it 100% a shortcut for "-action watchdog",
instead of calling into watchdog.c from the command line parser.
This is a small improvement because "-watchdog-action" and "-action
watchdog" now override each other based on the position on the
command line; previously, "-action watchdog" always won.

Paolo Bonzini (3):
  watchdog: add information from -watchdog help to -device help
  vl: deprecate -watchdog
  watchdog: remove select_watchdog_action
