`wdt.rst` is only about the Watchdog from "Industrial Computer Source"
(ICS). Change the title and rename the file to better express this.
Add missing SPDX license identifier `GPL-2.0-or-later` same as code to
silence `checkpatch`.
Fix wrong link to sample driver in drivers/watchdog/smsc37b787_wdt.c.
