no protobuf package for macos Python 3.6

[yaroslavvb]

Following instructions on
https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_mac

pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/protobuf-3.1.0-cp35-none-macosx_10_11_x86_64.whl

This doesn't work for Python 3.6 with error
protobuf-3.1.0-cp35-none-macosx_10_11_x86_64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
If I just change URL cp36, there's no such file

Looks like this is something we missed.
@jhseu FYI

We don't build protobuf versions anymore, so we should probably just delete that from the instructions.

[yaroslavvb]

So what's the recommended way of getting cpp version of protobuf? The default python version is slow (ie, timeline generation takes forever)

[jhseu]

The protobuf team has committed to building it for Linux upon every release to PyPI. For Mac, users will have to build it on their own.

We haven't been consistent about building it upon every release, so it's better not to rely on our builds.

[jhseu]

I deleted the mention of it in our documentation internally, and it should be reflected in the next push.

I still see the mention of Protobuf pip package 3.1 here:
https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_mac

Running the command listed under Python 3.n results in an error:
protobuf-3.1.0-cp35-none-macosx_10_11_x86_64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Just to clarify: this means that for linux the default pip install protobuf should just work fine? Asking because we're debugging some slow data loading here at the moment...
