Replace DevConsole APIs and auth paths with APIs and Services, document Desktop app clients, and note that Android/iOS OAuth clients have no secret. Fixes google#278
The PR added a `## 2.3.4-wip` CHANGELOG heading while pubspec.yaml stayed
at 2.3.3, which fails the `publish / validate` check:
error: pubspec version (2.3.3) and changelog (2.3.4-wip) don't agree
Bumping the pubspec keeps both `publish / validate` and `health / changelog`
green. Dropping the CHANGELOG entry instead would fail the latter, since
firehose requires an entry whenever a package's README.md or lib/ changes.
- Remove the OAuth client-type enumeration. It listed "Chrome app", which the console now labels "Chrome extension", and transcribing the dropdown verbatim is what let this README go stale in the first place (google#278). The load-bearing sentence, that "Installed application > Other" is gone and "Desktop app" replaces it, is kept. - Rewrite the mobile-credentials paragraph. It told the reader to construct a secret-less `ClientId` and then, two lines later, forbade using it with this package's user-consent helpers. Say plainly that Android and iOS clients are not usable here. - Point Flutter users at package:extension_google_sign_in_as_googleapis_auth, matching the warning at the top of the file, instead of introducing a second, conflicting recommendation. - Collapse a stray double blank line before the new section heading.

The googleapis_auth README still described DevConsole -> Project -> APIs and auth. I updated it to APIs and Services in Cloud Console, documented Desktop app (replacing Installed application -> Other), and noted that Android/iOS clients have no secret.
Fixes #278
