Disable Watchdog Boot Timer #8

Currently, the program will terminate after 5 minutes because of a timer set by uefi before starting it. This can be disabled by running SetWatchdogTimer(0, 0, 0, NULL) from BootSerivices. From https://wiki.osdev.org/UEFI#My_UEFI_application_hangs.2Fresets_after_about_5_minutes.
