We've been facing issues where TCPStore can successfully connect but then fail in the validate() function due to resets from listen backlog queue overflow when combined with reset enabled as well as long init times.
This PR does a few things:
* Retry that connect and validate up to the specified timeout.
* Use exponential backoff for the retry logic with jitter instead of a fixed 1s sleep.
* Eliminate the `sleep(std::chrono::milliseconds(numWorkers))` on init which can add significant delays to startup. This is no longer necessary per @XilunWu https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/116141
Test plan:
```
python test/distributed/test_store.py -v
./build/bin/BackoffTest
```
Will do internal testing with some large scale jobs to ensure TCPStore works correctly.
At 4k scale: 4x improvement
