From: Leigh Brown <leigh@solinno.co.uk>

The primary intention of this patch series is to replace the
pathologically bad behaviour of rebooting the domain if you run
"xenwatchdogd -h". To that end, I have implemented comprehensive
argument validation. This validation ensures you can't pass
arguments that instantly reboot the domain or cause it to spin
loop running sleep(0) repeatedly.

I added a couple of enhancements whilst working on the changes as
they were easy enough.  In particular, being able to run in the
foreground, disarming the watchdog on exit, help and a manpage.


Changes since v2:
- Drop patches 1-3 from v2, as they have been applied.
- Tweak check for NULL character.
- Fix initial implementation of parse_secs() not to use optind.
- Updated copyright notice.
- Better patch message for enhancements patch.
- Addressed feedback on manpage.

Changes since v1:
- Add Signed-off-by on every patch.
- Make global variables static.
