Remove dependency on google-auto-auth and use google-auth-library #832
Description
Activity
google-auto-authusesgoogle-auth-library-nodejs-- auto-auth doesn't do anything other than make auth-library easier to use and adds convenience methods (likegetCredentialsandgetToken).I only made it into its own module to restrict gcloud from taking on more responsibility than it needs. I also needed to use it from another module: https://github.com/stephenplusplus/gce-images (that is in turn used by gcloud).
I would like to switch back to auth-library and deprecate auto-auth, but is it possible to wait to see if googleapis/google-auth-library-nodejs#54, googleapis/google-auth-library-nodejs#55, and googleapis/google-auth-library-nodejs#56 re-shape the library to make it easier for us to consume first?
Sorry, I missed the second part saying just what I was asking for in my reply. Hard to believe I couldn't read two sentences properly... I'll make an issue to get me a pair of glasses.

We'll be aware if and when changes are made there and happily use google-auth-library as our dependency here.

google-auth-library is where auth-related functionality should go. Add whatever features are required from google-auto-auth to it, and switch the dependency back to google-auth-library-nodejs.
