Bug Description

Upstream bug fix identified here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-data-server/-/commit/d63a1ce3921a6a6c573a6a

When opening Evolution connected to Google Mail account, you see a "Contacts API is deprecated" error. This is a change in the past month or so (october 2021?) from the google side.

evolution-data-server has been patched by Gnome devs on version 3.42.0, but not for the older version in LTS.

Can someone help with backporting this please?
