Unify '_implicit_environ' handling

[tseaver]

There is a lot of overlap between datastore._implicit_environ and storage._implicit_environ. We should factor that out, especially before implementing yet another version in pubsub.

I like it. Was trying to move gradually towards this while building out the implicit functionality into storage.

The hardest thing to factor out is the dependence on the local concepts of Connection and _DefaultsContainer.

Here's my notional take on a unification plan;

• Move the GAE/GCD detection logic from gcloud.datastore._implicit_environ into gcloud._helpers (#741: hoist GAE/GCD detection into gcloud._helpers #747).
• Move the "project detection" logic from gcloud.storage._implicit_environ into gcloud._helpers (#741: hoist project detection/setup into 'gcloud._helpers'. #748).
• Consider how 'project' and 'dataset_id' should be related (e.g., does an app running on AppEngine / GCE use the same logic to determine its project ID for storage / pubsub purposes?).
• Add gcloud._helpers.get_scoped_connection(), which takes the connection class and a scopes list as arguments; make each gcloud.*._implicit_environ.get_connection delegate to that helper (e.g., via functools.partial) (#741: hoist get_scoped_connection into connection #749 leaves to original get_connection() functions in place, but has them delegate to get_scoped_connection()).
• Move the _DefaultsContainer up into gcloud._helpers, and make it generic; instantiate it (subclassing only if really necessary) in each gcloud.*._implicit_environ.

@dhermes WDYT?

I don't see _DefaultsContainer able to be generalized due to the dependence on package specific functions for lazy-loading.

The rest seems great.

RE: Project ID vs. App Engine App ID. We should ask someone with more knowledge of the current state of things. I think they are the same, but could be wrong.

App Engine apps also have a default bucket created for them: <app-id>.appspot.com (bucket names with periods can't usually be created)

Re: _DefaultsContainer: I (now) agree. When I moved the project stuff up into gcloud._helpers, I split apart the _DefaultsContainer class in gcloud.storage._implicit_environ: each modules version knows only about the attributes relevant to its own functions.

@tseaver What's the status on this?
