This is done by using a higher Pickle protocol version, which the Python docs describe as being "slightly more efficient". This reduces the file write time at the beginning from 2 1/2 minutes to 5 seconds.

* Deterministic dataset order fix

In order for the order of the files to be deterministic, in `tf.data.Dataset.list_files(..., shuffle)`, shuffle needs to be True, otherwise different iterator inits will yield different file orders

* removed unnecessary shuffle of filenames

* Removed the `_FILE_SHUFFLE_BUFFER` definition

* Fix Transformer TPU crash in Python 2.X.

- Tensorflow raises an error when tf_inspect.getfullargspec is called on
a functools.partial in Python 2.X. This issue would be hit during the
eval stage of the Transformer TPU model. This change replaces the call
to functools.partial with a lambda to work around the issue.

* Remove unused import from transformer_main.

* Fix lint error.

* warm start a resent with all but the dense layer and only update the final layer weights when fine tuning

* Update README for Transfer Learning

* make lint happy and variable naming error related to scaled gradients

* edit the test cases for cifar10 and imagenet to reflect the default case of no fine tuning

There is a typing error.

The data_async_generation.py process would print to stderr, but the main process would redirect it's stderr to a pipe. The main process never read from the pipe, so when the pipe was full, data_async_generation.py would stall on a write to stderr. This change makes data_async_generation.py not write to stdout/stderr.

The output of an embeddding layer is already flattened, so the Flatten layers acted as no-ops.

* Use six and feature detection in string conversion

Leverage [__six.ensure_text()__](https://github.com/benjaminp/six/blob/master/six.py#L890) to deliver Unicode text in both Python 2 and Python 3.

Follow Python porting best practice [use feature detection instead of version detection](https://docs.python.org/3/howto/pyporting.html#use-feature-detection-instead-of-version-detection) in ___unicode_to_native()__.

* Revert the use of six.ensure_text()

Thanks for catching that!  I jumped the gun.  It is I who have brought shame...
