Changed behavior of -watchdog option to act like a real watchdog. It now
specifies the number of seconds after the last video update that will
cause auto-termination of MAME. Also modified it to output a message
when the watchdog triggers the exit.
Updated windows.txt to reflect this option and the debugger_font options
which were never previously documented.
