* Fix spurious "did not start correctly" error.

The error "Generation subprocess did not start correctly" would occur if the async process started up after the main process checked for the subproc_alive file.

* Add error message

When constructing the evaluation records, data_async_generation.py would copy the records into the final directory. The main process would wait until the eval records existed. However, the main process would sometimes read the eval records before they were fully copied, causing a DataLossError.

Bypassing Export model step, if training on TPU's. As this need inference to be supported on TPU's. Remove this check once inference is supported. (#5209)

* Fix convergence issues for MLPerf.

Thank you to @robieta for helping me find these issues, and for providng an algorithm for the `get_hit_rate_and_ndcg_mlperf` function.

This change causes every forked process to set a new seed, so that forked processes do not generate the same set of random numbers. This improves evaluation hit rates.

Additionally, it adds a flag, --ml_perf, that makes further changes so that the evaluation hit rate can match the MLPerf reference implementation.

I ran 4 times with --ml_perf and 4 times without. Without --ml_perf, the highest hit rates achieved by each run were 0.6278, 0.6287, 0.6289, and 0.6241. With --ml_perf, the highest hit rates were 0.6353, 0.6356, 0.6367, and 0.6353.

* fix lint error

* Fix failing test

* Address @robieta's feedback

* Address more feedback

* perform a codecs check and remove unicode \ufeff if utf-8 is not present

* delint

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.
