    GCE: fix GCE internal auth

    @Kami - Very sorry, but I think with the merge trouble we were having on

> Currently, the GCE driver only supports authorization from a perspective that 
> code is executed "outside" of the GCE environment. However, if code is 
> executed on an instance running "inside" GCE, it is possible to handle 
> authorization with GCE's internal metadata service for an access token.
> When an instance is created with appropriate service account scopes, this 
> access token can be used to provide authorization to access the corresponding 
> Google Cloud services.
