Sometimes it takes longer than 15 seconds, and even longer than 1 minute, to spawn and create the alive file.

* 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.

* 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.

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.

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.

BigqueryBenchmarkLogger.
