Subject: [PATCH] Optimize get_bearer_token

The optimization eliminates the repeated instantiation of `google.auth.transport.requests.Request()` objects by creating a single global `_auth_req` instance at module load time and reusing it across all function calls.

**Key Changes:**
- Moved `google.auth.transport.requests.Request()` construction from inside the function to module level as `_auth_req`
- Replaced `auth_req = google.auth.transport.requests.Request()` with direct usage of the pre-created `_auth_req` object

**Why This Speeds Up Performance:**
The line profiler shows that `Request()` instantiation consumed 16.5% of the original function's runtime (508,216 nanoseconds). By eliminating this repeated object creation, the optimized version removes this overhead entirely. The `Request` object is stateless and thread-safe, making it safe to reuse across multiple calls.

**Test Case Performance:**
The optimization delivers consistent 15-40% speedups across all test scenarios, with particularly strong gains in:
- High-frequency calls (32% faster on 500 iterations)
- Many consecutive calls (26% faster on 100 iterations)
- Unicode token handling (39% faster)

This optimization is especially beneficial for applications that frequently request bearer tokens, as it eliminates redundant object allocation on every authentication request.
