Disable watchdog timer if debug_mode is set

debug_mode is used when the host is not going to be started. In this case, we do not want the watchdog timer to be started because there is no one to keep it from resetting.
This code change prevents the watchdog from being started during poweron.
Potential side affects could be if we do start the host in this code path. The watchdog is un-tested when it's not started but software comes in and tries to reset it. The code in control_host_obj.c currently enforces the no-host-power-on when debug_mode is set.
