Checks if there are more then X crashes in less then Y minutes

[pjasiun]

Now watchdog simply checks if there are X crashes and do not restart anymore if there are more then X crashes, to prevent infinite restart loops. Instead, it could check if there are more than X crashes in less then Y minutes (for instance stop restarting if there are more than 3 crashes in less then 10 minutes). WDYT?

Agree. I found this a bit odd that any 3 crashes disable the watchdog.

Also the number of handled crashes should be slightly increased. 3 seems just slightly too little, my reasoning is based on a following case:

Assume that end-user uses a broken feature.

If I was end user after getting a first restart I'd instantly attempt second try (thinking that maybe something weird happened). There's a good chance the user will also make third try, which will bail out graceful editor restart.

Note that this option is also configurable. But I agree that we can increase the default value a bit and change the logic to catch a specific number of errors in some time period.
