Interval Timer Mode

To use the WDT as an interval timer, set the WT/IT bit to 0 and TME bit in TCSR to 1.
When the WDT is used as an interval timer, an interval timer interrupt (WOVI) is generated each
time the TCNT overflows. Therefore, an interrupt can be generated at intervals.
When the TCNT overflows in interval timer mode, an interval timer interrupt (WOVI) is requested
at the same time the OVF bit in the TCSR is set to 1.
