Subject: Remove vestiges of watchdog support in heart

Hardware watchdog support was removed from heart in R13A, but there were
still some vestiges in the code and the documentation.

- Remove mentions of the HW_WD_DISABLE variable, as it's no longer used.
- Remove the HEART_BEAT_BOOT_DELAY variable, as it was only used for the
  hardware watchdog.
