Google Calendar Extension won't authenticate

See original GitHub issue

Test Plan

Specified here: https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/5616

Description

When installing the Google Calendar extension, authorization is required independently from browser auth. This takes place from within the app itself. After selecting “Authorize…”, extension process halts and gets stuck on Authorizing:
