Retry credentials on Compute Engine

on GitHub

Mitigate occasional failures in looking up Application Default Credentials on a Google Compute Engine (GCE) Virtual Machine (#110 addresses #109):

• Add retry to the credentials check for the GCE environment
• Use fixed IP address for the GCE VM metadata server used to perform the check (to avoid nameserver lookup)
• Allow skipping the check by setting an environment variable NO_GCE_CHECK=true
• Use a custom GCE metadata server address by setting the environment variable GCE_METADATA_HOST=<hostname>
