**Reference code for the super watchdog auto-feed.** ESP-IDF's C3 bootloader, [`bootloader_super_wdt_auto_feed()`](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/blob/0e6b480f858c69862ffb6001d96e9eef74599a6e/components/bootloader_support/src/esp32c3/bootloader_esp32c3.c#L74-L79), does the same three writes: key, set `RTC_CNTL_SWD_AUTO_FEED_EN`, then 0. It is [called from the C3 hardware init](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/blob/0e6b480f858c69862ffb6001d96e9eef74599a6e/components/bootloader_support/src/esp32c3/bootloader_esp32c3.c#L130). Zephyr's no-bootloader path calls the equivalent [`super_wdt_auto_feed()`](https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/d1b8eec76bfd14058854245d09aa1e413e355c4a/soc/espressif/esp32c3/hw_init.c#L36).
