Add ability to protect entire sheet vs. protecting range

Description It would be great to be able to protect an entire sheet vs. just hiding a range. See request below for how to do it:

{
    "addProtectedRange": {
        "protectedRange": {
            "range": {"sheetId": tab_id},
            "warningOnly": False,
            "editors": {"users": ["[e-mail]"]},
        }
    }
}

you’re right a better documentation should be added, in fact before today I did know you could protect a full sheet and never thought about it but I will add it to the documentation.

thank you very much for helping.

@lavigne958 this does indeed work. I didn’t understand that from the documentation. Would be great to make that clearer.

I also added a convenience error handler for ranges that are already protected:

    try:
        tab.add_protected_range("", editor_users_emails=["[e-mail]"])
    except APIError as api_error:
        #https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4308182/getting-the-exception-value-in-python
        error_dict = api_error.args[0]
        if error_dict["code"] == 400 and "already has sheet protection" in error_dict["message"]:
            return
        raise Exception("Another error occurred")

I saw that you are already working on a method to find protected ranges so I will switch to that one later.
