   Currently to do distributed training, `tools/launch.py` is used to launch the cluster. However, the file cannot be easily discovered in the installed pip packaged (one needs to navigate to the folder where mxnet pip package locates). Otherwise users manually clones mxnet to get the script.
   A better way is to make it a module or API of MXNet, so that users can launch distributed training via something like:
   `python -m mxnet.kv "launch -n 4 -h hosts train.py"`

   There's an option in setup.py to specify python files as "to be installed as script" (made available in users path). It should be fine to use it after renaming `launch.py` to something mxnet specific, eg `mxnet_launch_distributed.py`. What do you think?
