Unlike the efforts in the current non-deprecated auth library googleapis/google-auth-library-java#1802 and googleapis/google-auth-library-java#1798, this library is deprecated and promotes usage of google-auth-library-java.
However, we also add a comment with notice of the unsafety of the
fromStream()methods, repeating the existing note of class deprecation (theGoogleCredentialis already deprecated).This library does not have subclasses for credentials (e.g. service account credentials).
