GKE authentication about pykube HOT 5 CLOSED

I knocked together a quick fix for this -- WDYT about this approach?

It leaves auth to the gcloud tool, which I think is probably fine.

More specifically, the auth/re-auth is handled by the command gcloud container clusters get-credentials CLUSTER_NAME

I am in favor of your approach in the PR. I commented there too. I am going to leave this open to track the feature of implementing the authentication ourself (at some point), but your change at least enables pykube to use auth-provider if present with a token.

So I just ran into this problem with a 1.3.x GKE cluster where my .kube/config only had the gcp auth-provider info. I got it working by creating a ServiceAccount and then using the Token that was created in the Secret associated with the ServiceAccount in the .kube/config for my deployment tool that uses PyKube. Works like a champ.

Having the auth-provider token in kubeconfig is not enough because it expires and pykube doesn't refresh it, as opposite as kubectl that does it. I've created this #76 to address the issue
