Update Google API client library to latest version that uses Idea Hub Beta API

The plugin is currently connecting to the v1alpha version of the Idea Hub API. Before launch though, we should switch to the v1beta version which is supposed to be published soon. To do that, we’ll need to update the Google API client services library to a version where that is updated.

Acceptance criteria

• The Google API client services library should be updated to at least v0.213.0.
• There should be no changes to the Idea Hub API other than the URL changing to “v1beta”, plus the following:
  • The Idea Hub module should now also generally require a new https://www.googleapis.com/auth/ideahub.full OAuth scope, in addition to the existing *.readonly scope.

Implementation Brief

The API library version mentioned in the ACs isn’t released yet as of Wednesday, September 15, and it will most likely be released on Sunday, September 19. Let’s already move this issue to Execution Backlog, but engineering will be blocked until the library version release. Please check here to see if the release is out.

• Update the Google API client services library to the latest version which should be at least v0.213.0 or greater.
• Verify that the Idea Hub service in the newest version has idea activities functionality.

QA Update: ✅

We will be completing E2E on Friday but I ran some sanity checks:

• Could set up Idea Hub and confirmed the feature tour appears
• Dismissed an idea and it was removed from the new ideas tab
• Saved an idea and it appeared in the saved tab
• Started a draft and it appeared in the drafts tab
• Went to the posts screen and the feature tour appeared for the idea hub draft
• Refreshed the Idea hub widget to make sure the same data appears.
• Clicked through the tabs. Used pagination to move through pages.
• Unsaved ideas and they went back to new ideas.
• View draft link took me to the post editor.
• Deleted drafts in posts and they went back to new ideas.
• Correct number of ideas appeared in appropriate tabs. No number appears when zero results.
• No errors appeared in the console when going through these actions.

Looking good! 🚀
