Service account impersonation for Google APIS with Nodejs client

[Bruce Mcpherson]

If you want to use Google APIS from server side nodejs, authentication can be complicated for services such as sheets, especially for automated processes that don't have human interaction. 

I noticed that the examples in the api docs are mainly pythonesque and feature 3 legged auth, so here's how to impersonate a domain member using a service account minus the complicated Oauth2 dance. This example uses the Sheets API but most other APIS will work the same way.

Bruce, 

I was just working through these issues. Thanks for posting on this. I'm going to try this method for something I'm working on.
