doc: watchdog: document buddy detector
The current documentation generalizes the hardlockup detector as primarily
NMI-perf-based and lacks details on the SMP "Buddy" detector.
Update the documentation to add a detailed description of the Buddy
detector, and also restructure the "Implementation" section to explicitly
separate "Softlockup Detector", "Hardlockup Detector (NMI/Perf)", and
"Hardlockup Detector (Buddy)".
Clarify that the softlockup hrtimer acts as the heartbeat generator for
both hardlockup mechanisms and centralize the configuration details in a
"Frequency and Heartbeats" section.
