Fix undefined names found be flake8 F821 that are mostly (but not exclusively) related to Python 3. Each undefined name has the potential to raise NameError at runtime. Used the six module as discussed at #10833 (comment) Also see #11669

We ship tools as part of our package and we should avoid using six as it's not in our dependency.

[szha]

Why? We don't have xrange definition in mxnet.base. My approval doesn't apply to this change.

[cclauss]

Sorry. This comment #11671 (review) got me messed up.

[szha]

@cclauss no worries. You can reopen a PR to make the proper change after revert.

OK. Thanks.
