doc: document bwatch-poll-interval in lightningd-config.5
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only adds documentation for an existing configuration option called bwatch-poll-interval. It describes how long the bwatch plugin waits between checks for new blocks from bitcoind. There are no code changes and no security implications.
No action required; this is a documentation-only change with no security relevance.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
