In PaddleDetection,  making use of tb-paddle to record data, so as to display in TensorBoard.  (#3295)

* use tb_paddle to log data
including:

* loss
* mAP
* image

* modified:   requirements.txt
* modify the missing argument --use_tb
* modify GETTING_STARTED.md and docs/GETTING_STARTED_cn.md

add the argument of tb-paddle in docs.
* optimize the display name of image displaying.

* Add benchmark (fps) in MODEL_ZOO doc

* fix add map_type

* minor fix for PaddleDetection

* fix bug in sharedmemory
* fix bug in sharedmemory
