[ProcessGroup] Make watchdog check work queue more frequently (#117297)

Today watchdog's sleep interval is 1s. That's a bit long compared to modern GPU link's (or network link's) speed.

Take DDP and Ampere for example:

DDP's bucket size = 25 MB
Ampere's NVLink speed = 250 GB/s

25 MB / 250 GB/s = 100 ms.
So we are updating the interval to 100 ms.

Update:
25 MB / 250 GB/s = 0.1 ms
But let's see how it goes so far between making the checking more aggressive.
