Expose aten poll interval in rabbitmq.conf

[michaelklishin]

Proposed Changes

as raft.adaptive_failure_detector.poll_interval.

On systems under peak load, inter-node communication link congestion can result in false positives and trigger QQ leader re-elections that are unnecessary and could make the situation worse.

Using a higher poll interval would at least reduce the probability of false positives.

Per discussion with @kjnilsson @mkuratczyk.
