find_place: location_restriction parameter is not supported

[FinnWoelm]

The Google Maps API now supports a locationrestriction parameter for Find Place requests, which can restrict results to a certain area. This is unlike the locationbias parameter, which prefers results in a certain area.

See: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/search-find-place#locationrestriction

Thanks @wangela, I've taken a first stab at a PR: #465 ! Feel free to modify, of course :)

Hi @FinnWoelm, where's a Public Issue Tracker issue discussing location restriction in Find Place, and it turns out it is not supported. Documentation has been updated to remove the parameter (see googlemaps/openapi-specification#433) so I'll close this issue since the Python library is working as intended.

Ah, bummer I was really excited when I saw locationrestriction added to the docs 🙃 But thanks for letting me know 🙏
