What is the root cause of the lag since TiCDC doesn't depends on PD leader's IO, TiCDC just asynchronously push the checkpoint to PD. cc @nongfushanquan

This issue still seen with v7.2.0

TiCDC nodes have to keep connection with the PD , but in this scenario , PD can't read the leader's information from etcd , which may be caused by the following issue
etcd-io/etcd#12528.

[asddongmen]

It's a etcd issue, we can't fix now.

If PD is able to upgrade its etcd version to 3.4.31, it's likely that the issue will be resolved.

After the merge of #10881, the checkpointTs lag during pd-leader-io-hang cases was reduced to less than 120s, meeting the requirement.
