Subject: [PATCH] Warn the user when the required watchdog is not healthy
 (#1779)

When the watchdog device is not writable or missing in required mode, the member cannot be promoted. It only keeps logging that it is not the healthiest member.
Add a warning to show the user where to search for this misconfiguration.
