doc: watchdog: clarify hardlockup detection timing
The current documentation implies that a hardlockup is strictly defined as looping for "more than 10 seconds." However, the detection mechanism is periodic (based on `watchdog_thresh`), meaning detection time varies significantly depending on when the lockup occurs relative to the NMI perf event. Update the definition to remove the strict "more than 10 seconds" constraint in the introduction and defer details to the Implementation section. Additionally, add a "Detection Overhead" section illustrating the Best Case (~6s) and Worst Case (~20s) detection scenarios to provide administrators with a clearer understanding of the watchdog's latency.
