clocksource: Add a Kconfig option for WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW
A watchdog maximum skew of 100us may still be too small for some systems or archs. It may also be too small when some kernel debug config options are enabled. So add a new Kconfig option CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW_US to allow kernel builders to have more control on the threshold for marking clocksource as unstable.
