service: add watchdog timestamp
This patch adds WatchdogTimestamp[Monotonic] to the systemd service D-Bus API. The timestamp is updated to the current time when the service calls 'sd_nofity("WATCHDOG=1\n")'. Using a timestamp instead of an 'alive' flag has two advantages: 1. No timeout is needed to define when a service is no longer alive. This simplifies both configuration (no timeout value) and implementation (no timeout event). 2. It is more robust. A 'dead' service might not be detected should systemd 'forget' to reset an 'alive' flag. It is much less likely to get a valid new timestamp if a service died.
