Module for Google Connection and Authentication classes.

Information about setting up your Google OAUTH2 credentials:

For libcloud, there are two basic methods for authenticating to Google using
OAUTH2: Service Accounts and Client IDs for Installed Applications.

Both are initially set up from the Cloud Console Console -
https://cloud.google.com/console

Setting up Service Account authentication (note that you need the PyCrypto
package installed to use this):

- Go to the Console
- Go to your project and then to "APIs & auth" on the left
- Click on "Credentials"
- Click on "Create New Client ID..."
- Select "Service account" and click on "Create Client ID"
- Download the Private Key (should happen automatically).  The key you download
  is in JSON format.
- Move the .json file to a safe location.
- Optionally, you may choose to Generate a PKCS12 key from the Console.
  It needs to be converted to the PEM format.  Please note, the PKCS12 format
  is deprecated and may be removed in a future release.
  - Convert the key using OpenSSL (the default password is 'notasecret').
  - Move the .pem file to a safe location.
- To Authenticate, you will need to pass the Service Account's "Email
  address" in as the user_id and the path to the .pem file as the key.

Setting up Installed Application authentication:

- Go to the Console
- Go to your project and then to "APIs & auth" on the left
- Click on "Credentials"
- Select "Installed application" and "Other" then click on
  "Create Client ID"
- To Authenticate, pass in the "Client ID" as the user_id and the "Client
  secret" as the key
- The first time that you do this, the libcloud will give you a URL to
  visit.  Copy and paste the URL into a browser.
- When you go to the URL it will ask you to log in (if you aren't already)
  and ask you if you want to allow the project access to your account.
- Click on Accept and you will be given a code.
- Paste that code at the prompt given to you by the Google libcloud
  connection.
- At that point, a token & refresh token will be stored in your home
  directory and will be used for authentication.

Please remember to secure your keys and access tokens.
