transport/grpc: support option.WithAPIKey

[broady]

google.golang.org/ap/option says:

API Keys can only be used for JSON-over-HTTP APIs, including those under the import path google.golang.org/api/....

Not true, though, API keys can be used with gRPC.

Need to use the x-api-key metadata key:

ctx = metadata.NewOutgoingContext(ctx, metadata.Pairs("x-api-key", ...))

sorry, reading this now it doesn't look like a doc bug.

	if o.APIKey != "" {
	log.Print("API keys are not supported for gRPC APIs. Remove the WithAPIKey option from your client-creating call.")
	}

Workaround for "API keys are not supported for gRPC APIs. Remove the WithAPIKey option from your client-creating call."

Append the API key to the context used for the request (not for client creation).

ctx = metadata.AppendToOutgoingContext(ctx, "x-goog-api-key", key)

Then provide some dummy authentication:

option.WithTokenSource(oauth2.StaticTokenSource(&oauth2.Token{}))

Any better fix for this issue ?

@zhoub As of right now, I think this is still the best solution.
