Peter Schultz 758b44b9c0 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.

Enhancement: Authenticate to Google Cloud Storage with access token
When using the GCS backend, it is now possible to authenticate with OAuth2
access tokens instead of a credentials file by setting the GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN
environment variable.
