Why? Just integrate watchdog support into the test runner (igt).
No watching output required, if we have a long running test that
produces no output, it can ping the watchdog itself. If the test itself
should not use the watchdog as it only uses the kernel watchdog, again
no issue.

I have no idea why owatch was ever used...
