Add explicit documentation for Google storage token_file setting #549

When trying to configure vdirsyncer for the first time using the google_calendar storage, I didn't set the token_file setting because I couldn't figure out what its value was meant to be.

I ended up doing an OAuth handshake manually to get an access token, which worked at first, until the token expired some time later.

After looking through the code, I realised that vdirsyncer actually does do the OAuth dance, but it was completely not obvious to me beforehand that I should just set token_file to an empty file and have the program do the work.

Can some extra documentation be added to 12c22f1#diff-fd40cf2be7711772de9d8316da038cceR136 (or to the program itself) to clearly explain what to set token_file to?
