core: use google-auto-auth

[stephenplusplus]

Fixes #822

This incorporates https://github.com/stephenplusplus/google-auto-auth into our library, replacing google-auth-library (kind of; it's wrapped by google-auto-auth).

@stephenplusplus : Any reason why we couldn't push the commits upstream into google-auth-library?

[stephenplusplus]

google-auth-library is much more complex and lacks documentation. google-auto-auth was just built to simplify it with a more conventional JS approach. I don't think this approach (high-level userland packages that wrap more low-level ones) is anything to worry about.

Cool - if it's something specific like this, maybe we can get it shoved under the google or GCP github organization...?

That's fine with me, though seeing two repos that handle authorization in Node under the same org might be a bit confusing to a user. I'm happy to transfer the ownership of the repo though if you don't think that's a concern.

Eh let's leave it alone for now, and keep it as an idea for discussion
later on...
