[DOC] Repository GCS ADC not supported #33238

ADC - Application Default Credentials

For the repository gcs plugin we use Google Cloud Client Library for Java for the communication with the storage service.
For authenticating the calls, common to most other google client libraries, this library uses another library https://github.com/google/google-auth-library-java that is designed to do it's job seamlessly when the client is run in a google environment, such as Compute Engine, Kubernetes Engine or App Engine. Specifically, it checks environment variables and searches predefined file paths for plain text credential files; details are here.
This "automatic" discovery is not compatible with the Java security manager. It does not work (generates a warning) and it had not worked for some time now, although the docs said otherwise. This PR rectifies the docs.

Closes #23992

LGTM

creation time, when "Storage" access can be configured to "Read/Write" permission. Check your
instance details at the section "Cloud API access scopes".
The plugin needs to authenticate the requests it is making to the Google Cloud
Storage service. In this respect, it is common for google client libraries

I think "google" should probably be capitalized here too.

Make it clear that automatic default credentials (ADC)
is not supported for the repository-gcs plugin.
"Service Account" method is the only alternative
to authn requests to Google Cloud Storage.
