* Merged commit includes the following changes:
311933687  by Sergio Guadarrama:

    Removes spurios use of tf.compat.v2, which results in spurious tf.compat.v1.compat.v2. Adds basic test to nasnet_utils.
    Replaces all remaining import tensorflow as tf with import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf

--
311766063  by Sergio Guadarrama:

    Removes explicit tf.compat.v1 in all call sites (we already import tf.compat.v1, so this code was  doing tf.compat.v1.compat.v1). The existing code worked in latest version of tensorflow, 2.2, (and 1.15) but not in 1.14 or in 2.0.0a, this CL fixes it.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 310447280

The current android Dockerfile for object detectiion is not functional anymore. This commit fixes it by the following changes:
 - install gpg-agent, update google-cloud-sdk installation from https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/quickstart-debian-ubuntu
 - use non-interactive front end to set default tzdata configuration (required for TF object detection installation)
 - fix the tensorflow configuration

Leaving the base image untouched, although nightly-devel is no longer actively maintained. It may be worth upgrading as a separate effort later.

* fix TF_OD_API_LABELS_FILE name problem

* Fix variable TF_OD_API_LABELS_FILE in documention

Updated website addresses for MS COCO and Open Images.

It might seem redundant, but I followed this whole tutorial not knowing what <path-to-tensorflow> meant, and tried to install into the actual "tensorflow" package inside of my python installation.

* Update directory path 

- Update directory path with Tensorflow directoy folder: tensorflow/models/research/
- Add option to refresh source ~/.bashrc

* Update installation.md

* Fix maintainers list into a table for easy read.

* Taken duplicate name out of the maintainers table.
