pds_core: health timer and workqueue



Add in the periodic health check and the related workqueue,
as well as the handlers for when a FW reset is seen.

The firmware is polled every 5 seconds to be sure that it is
still alive and that the FW generation didn't change.

The alive check looks to see that the PCI bus is still readable
and the fw_status still has the RUNNING bit on.  If not alive,
the driver stops activity and tears things down.  When the FW
recovers and the alive check again succeeds, the driver sets
back up for activity.

The generation check looks at the fw_generation to see if it
has changed, which can happen if the FW crashed and recovered
or was updated in between health checks.  If changed, the
driver counts that as though the alive test failed and forces
the fw_down/fw_up cycle.
