oauth2client is broken under Python 3.8 and gcalcli needs to move to alternate

[robbat2]

oauth2client is broken with Python >= 3.8.
gcalcli has a hard dependency on oauth2client presently, that could be replaced by another provider with significant work.
Python 3.7 approaching end of life and removal from linux distributions, which means oauth2client is going to break, and thus gcalcli will break as well unless the dependency is replaced.

In what way is oauth2client broken with Python ≥3.8? I use gcalcli with python3.10 every day without incident.

python3.10 "$(which gcalcli)" list

The testcases definetly showed some broken paths - esp in contrib modules that are tested by default

I fixed it in a fork instead:

Includes py3.11 support now.
