Load Application Default Credentials
Loads credentials from a file identified via a search strategy known as
Application Default Credentials (ADC). The hope is to make auth "just work"
for someone working on Google-provided infrastructure or who has used Google

here, with some abuse of notation. ALL_CAPS represents the value of an
environment variable and %||% is used in the spirit of a null coalescing operator.
