Replace references to _DataLoaderIter with _BaseDataLoaderIter (pytor…

…ch#27105)

Summary:
Back in April, malmaud added type annotations for `dataloader.py`. However, at about the same time, SsnL in pytorch#19228 replaced `_DataLoaderIter` with `_BaseDataLoaderIter` and two subclasses, `_SingleProcessDataLoaderIter`, and `_MultiProcessingDataLoaderIter`. However - probably because these changes happened in parallel at roughly the same time, the type stubs and several other references in the codebase were never updated to match this refactoring.

I've gone ahead and done the updates to reflect the refactoring in pytorch#19228, which fixes the specific type stub/impelementation mismatch pointed out in pytorch#26673, although not the broader problem that pytorch doesn't have a test to make sure that the `.pyi` type stub files match the real API defined in `.py` files.
