Keep the sequence or mapping type in `default_collate` (#68779)
Summary:
`default_collate`, `default_convert`, and `pin_memory` convert sequences into lists. I believe they should keep the original type when possible (e.g., I have a class that inherits from `list`, which comes from a 3rd party library that I can't change, and provides extra functionality).
Note it's easy to do when the type supports an iterable in its creation but it's not always the case (e.g., `range`).
Even though this can be accomplished if using a custom `default_collate`/`default_convert`, 1) this is behavior they should support out-of-the-box IMHO, and 2) `pin_memory` still does it.
