Built-in handling of watchdog timer #1160

It would be nice if MySensors had built-in handling automatic of AVR watchdog timers. So that the user wouldn't have to deal with initialization, and resetting when using sleep(), send() and etc. Preferably this could be enabled with just one preprocessor flag.

Having the node let the controller know the device has encountered a fault would also be nice but that would require a new data type and explicit controller support, right?

Could you elaborate on what MySensors does to the watchdog? After which commands is the watchdog disabled? And.. why does MySensors do this?
