Use "% tensorflow_version 2.x" when using TPU with Tensorflow 2.1.0 in Colaboratory

[Appendix] Verification results for TF2.x series

• TF2.0.0 works fine even when raised with pip.
• ** There seems to be a caution in the case of TF 2.1.0. **

When Tensorflow == 2.0.0 with pip (TPU connection succeeds)

!pip install -U tensorflow==2.0.0
