gs: support authentication with access token
In the Google Cloud Storage backend, support specifying access tokens directly, as an alternative to a credentials file. This is useful when restic is used non-interactively by some other program that is already authenticated and eliminates the need to store long lived credentials. The access token is specified in the GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable and takes precedence over GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS.

Alternatively, you can specify an existing access token directly:

$ export GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN=ya29.a0AfH6SMC78...

If ``GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN`` is set all other authentication mechanisms are

disabled. The access token must have at least the

``https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.read_write`` scope. Keep in mind
|

that access tokens are short-lived (usually one hour), so they are not suitable

if creating a backup takes longer than that, for instance.

Once authenticated, you can use the ``gs:`` backend type to create a new

repository in the bucket ``foo`` at the root path:
