Tristan Rice 7c370d2fb0 expose set_thread_name to Python and set thread names (#128448)
This adds a new multiprocessing method `_set_thread_name` and calls it from torchelastic and dataloader main functions. This will allow better monitoring of processes as we can separate elastic and dataloading processes from the main training process.

Threads named:

* torchrun/elastic
* PyTorch dataloader worker processes + pin memory thread
* TCPStore
* ProcessGroupNCCL background threads
* WorkerServer httpserver thread

Test plan:

```
$ torchrun --nnodes 1 --nproc_per_node 1 --no-python /bin/bash -c 'ps -eL | grep pt_'
3264281 3264281 pts/45   00:00:02 pt_elastic
3264281 3267950 pts/45   00:00:00 pt_elastic
```

dataloading

```py
import torch
import time

from torch.utils.data import (
    DataLoader,
    Dataset,
)

class NoopDataset(Dataset):
    def __getitem__(self, index):
        return index

    def __len__(self):
        return 10

dataloader = DataLoader(NoopDataset(), num_workers=2)

for i, x in enumerate(dataloader):
    print(i, x)
    time.sleep(10000)
```

```
$ python3 ~/scripts/dataloader_test.py
$ ps -eL | grep pt_
