[PGNCCL] Launch kernel on current stream & remove record_stream entirely (#148590)

This PR has multiple changes to `ProcessGroupNCCL` (which unfortunately are related):
1. When async_op=False, we directly launch the collective on "current" stream, instead of a trampoline stream and join back.
- Resolves #147729
- Resolves #146881
- Also saves two event syncs (which have overhead in case of HIP) and one pybind when we call `work.wait()` in distributed_c10d.py on behalf of user.
2. Entirely remove `record_stream` and use CPU-side stashing for managing tensor lifetime against recycling.
- Resolves #147168
3. Remove tensor life management when async_op=False; only use it when async_op=True.
4. To guard against user not calling `work.wait()`, we ask watchdog to unstash tensors after detecting completion of collectives, to prevent us from holding reference to tensors forever. This is a safety net, rather than a service guarantee, see discussion [here](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/147168#issuecomment-2660142460).
5. Profile in async_op=False mode would look different -- collective kernels would show up in the same line and compute kernels.

Joint work with @cenzhaometa who wants to remove the event sync overhead.
