With watchdog action=dump the actual watchdog action is set to pause and
the daemon then proceeds to dump the process. After that the domain is
resumed. That was the case since the feature was added. However the
resuming of the domain might be unexpected, especially when compared to
HW watchdog, which will never run the guest from the point where it got
interrupted.
Document the pre-existing behaviour, since any change might be
unexpected as well. Change of behaviour would require new options like
dump+reset, dump+pause, etc. That option is still possible, but
orthogonal to this change.
