`gcloud auth print-access-token` doesn't work if `gcloud auth application-default login` is used because it will take the user's auth token instead of the ADC one. This is to test if a fix will have unanticipated consequences.

gcloud auth print-access-tokengenerates a token associated with the gcloud sdk client ID. This works fine if the client credentials are synced to ADC (withgcloud auth login --update-adc)But if we do:
The two credentials will be different, and in this case the application default credential should be used.
This PR is also trying to test if the fix will have unexpected consequences.
