Before, there was a global default loss scale for all models. Currently, only resnet uses loss scaling, but this will be useful once more models support it.

* Added 'tfdata_exp' version of all benchmarks which set
FLAGS.tf_data_experimental_slack = True. Renamed
`data_prefetch_with_slack` to `data_delay_prefetch` (haoyu's change)
to make the names more distinct.

* Add flag to resnet input pipeline and surface through
keras_imagenet_main.py

* Add FP16 and benchmarks.

* add missing run and report.

* Add loss_scale as option not included with dtype.

* move loss_scale validation under dtype conditional.

* add loss_scale to flags tested.

This options allows the new tf.train.experimental.enable_mixed_precision_graph_rewrite() function to be used for fp16, instead of manual casts.

* Add num_packs flag for MirroredStrategy's cross device ops.

* fix parens

* Fix lint errors and make all_reduce_alg more robust.

* Set default num_packs to 1

* s/CollectiveAllReduceStrategy/MultiWorkerMirroredStrategy

* More s/contrib.distribute/distribute.experimental

* Collective communication options in MultiWorkerMirroredStrategy.

* Minor fixes

* No checkpointing if multi worker.

* turn off checkpointing

* fix lint

* Add DistributionStrategy to transformer model

* add num_gpu flag

* Calculate per device batch size for transformer

* remove reference to flags_core

* Add synthetic data option to transformer

* fix typo

* add import back in

* Use hierarchical copy

* address PR comments

* lint

* fix spaces

* group train op together to fix single GPU error

* Fix translate bug (sorted_keys is a dict, not a list)

* Change params to a default dict (translate.py was throwing errors because params didn't have the TPU parameters.)

* Address PR comments. Removed multi gpu flag + more

* fix lint

* fix more lints

* add todo for Synthetic dataset

* Update docs

* squash of modular absl usage commits

* delint

* address PR comments

* change hooks to comma separated list, as absl behavior for space separated lists is not as expected
