remove deprecated youtube api

See merge request !36

It’s been deprecated by Google for a number of years, and is completely
unsupported in all of their newer REST APIs. Its main flaws are that it
requires the user’s password to be passed to potentially untrusted code
(normalising the user typing their password into any old text entry),
and that it can’t support the interactive authentication required for
2FA.

contacts: Deprecate the entire Contacts API as Google is ending it

Closes #42

See merge request !30

The Contacts API server will return error responses with increasing
frequency until all responses are errors in December 2021.

They are replacing it with the People API (why can’t they provide
backwards-compatibility?), but I don’t have the time to port the
libgdata Contacts service to the new People API. More crucially, I don’t
have time to maintain such a port in the future.

https://developers.google.com/people

Handily, the CardDAV API for accessing contact data is still explicitly
supported by Google Contacts, so people should use that instead. At
least it’s a standard protocol, with a variety of conformant
implementations already released and maintained; and not just another
here-today-gone-tomorrow Google REST API.

https://developers.google.com/people/carddav



Using CardDAV requires OAuth 2 authorization, just like the Contacts API
did.

So, bearing all the above in mind, the libgdata Contacts service is now
deprecated in favour of using CardDAV.
