[Cloud Language modeling] benchmark.py has to be executed with python3 and not python2

[francois-wellenreiter]

in the file https://github.com/mlperf/inference/blob/master/cloud/language_modeling/README it is specified to start benchmark.py with python, but urllib.request does not work. It only exists with python3.
