Impact
======
Some bugs in evolution-data-server were causing daily limit errors for those using Google services with evolution-data-server and apps that use it (Evolution is a prominent example).

This update changes the API key used by those using the GNOME Online Accounts feature.

Test Case
=========
Restart your computer after applying the updates.

Then use Evolution with a Google account configured by gnome-control-center's Online Accounts. The easiest way to configure that correctly is to use Ubuntu GNOME.

Make sure that Evolution works without getting authentication errors with your Google services.

Regression Potential
====================
I think the only possibility for regression is if GNOME did not configure the key correctly with Google's developer platform.

Other Info
==========
This update depends on the pending evolution-data-server 3.22.3 SRU (LP: #1639926) since we need to make sure the user has a fixed version of evolution-data-server so we don't taint the new keys too!

Also, Evolution has two ways to use Google services: 1) GNOME Online Accounts 2) evolution-data-server has its own Google authentication method. The evolution-data-server key probably will similarly need to be updated.
