Overlays vanished at random time and have not come back

Stop the runtime data being written to the module config file as it can lead to corruption, save it in a separate file instead
Discussed in #3454

As in subject, My overlays simply vanished at around 12:35PM yesterday and have not come back. No clue why. I have not touched anything with overlays once I got them working. I rebooted and no change. I removed overlay items to see if there was one that suddenly went bad.. NO change.
Same thing is happeing to me using V2024.xx.xx branch. For some reason overlay module is getting disabled by something.
It seems my issue of disapearing overlay is caused by some stuck of system:

You can adjust the maximum allowed - see the documentation. 33 seconds is a long time, do you have a lot of text and/or images in your overlay, or have a slow Pi?
Closing as the watchdog has been removed
