Public bug reported:

gcalcli is another application that had been using oauth2client and I
had unfortunately missed it.

Luckily, upstream patched that mid-August. It reportedly fixed issues
for the application. I haven't been able to use it on the canonical
account unfortunately and I don't have another account to test this
with. I'm currently waiting for the feedback of a volunteer.

This gives us two good reasons to include this in oracular:
- authentication was broken; it still worked for some people, sometimes, if 
they had set it up years ago
- one less package depends on python3-oauth2client

There are five relevant patches that I've identified. They all happened
in a row and could have been a single commit.

- Replace deprecated oauth2client with google-auth: 
https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli/commit/22dbc71c5dc17dace62e87b3f31b8cdb3eb37996
- Actually leave oauth2client for argparser: 
https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli/commit/f880c2c4fd1144ab15b3ace4a61e293dfe295053
- Use google-auth: 
https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli/commit/d01e7157de75cc8f954f4b8c566b073acd454e9a
- Prevent browser from opening automatically. 
https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli/commit/1260a41410e1a8e11438ac41156f8dfe00c8791e
- Remove deprecated oauth arguments.
