[flex counter] Flex counter threads consume too much CPU resources #9202

(#2031) * [flex counter] Flex counter threads consume too much CPU resources #9202 1. water thread flex counter will consume many cpu resouces on some platforms. change the default interval for those counters from 10 seconds to 60 seconds to workaround this issue. The performance issue of flex counter read need to be addressed separately, this is just a workaround. if it needs smaller granulatiry, the interval could be adjusted through CLI under SONIC shell. counterpoll * Increase the buffer pool watermark interval from 10 seconds to 60 seconds
