Reduced permission for Google Drive

See original GitHub issue

I was very happy to install this and find Google Drive support - makes using it much lower friction for me.

However it currently requiers full access to Google Drive. This doesn’t feel right - the extension should only have access to my vault archive(s), not all my personal documents.

The appropriate scope for this is https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file

If buttercup creates the archive I think this is straightforward. But if a user wants to use an existing archive it will require some rework for the flow - I’m not sure how a user gives access to a specific file.

Seems this works out of the box. Existing vaults that have been accessed remain accessible to Buttercup:

(This was after reducing the permissions scopes)

This will come out soon. Might even help fix #314.

Oh yes, importing seems like a great alternative to uploading.
