Backport 39c47e5 from #15112
What this PR does / why we need it:
Added some basic info about GCS authentication.
Special notes for your reviewer:
Not all of Loki/GEL's services support ADC. I had to use
loki.structuredConfig.admin_client.storage.gcs.service_account
to force the Admin API to use service account credentials. It did not seem capable of utilizingGOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
.I'm uncertain how to document this other than to exhaustive documentation. Maybe such detail is more appropriate in the Helm chart docs/examples?
