Increase polling threshold for publish-prereleases (#22392)

The publish-preleases command prints the URL of the publish workflow
so that you can visit the page and follow along.

But it can take a few seconds before the workflow ID is available, after
you create the pipeline. So the script polls the workflow endpoint
until it's available.

The current polling limit is too low so I increased it.

I also updated the error message to provide more info.
