Update script options, functionality, docs, auth
Functionality updates: - Add ability to run script for channel ID or content owner - Add option to set filters - Change default metrics, remove default max results - Remove additional call to YouTube Data API to get channel ID and just set ids=channel==MINE - Add function to properly set "ids" parameter depending on whether content-owner or channel-id command-line arguments are set - Pass API request parameters as keyword arguments (**args) rather than listing them line by line The functionality in the script is more thoroughly documented. Also see the Prerequisites section of the README file for more information about running this sample. Finally, the oauth2client library is deprecated. This update changes the sample to use the google-auth and google-auth-oauthlib libraries instead.

# Retrieves YouTube Analytics report data. The script's default behavior
6+
# is to retrieve data for the authenticated user's channel. However, if you
7+
# set a value for the --content-owner command-line argument, then the script
8+
# retrieves data for that content owner. Note that the user running the script
9+
# must be authorized to retrieve data for that content owner.
10+
#
11+
# Note that when you retrieve Analytics data for a content owner, your API
12+
# request must set a value for the "filters" request parameter as explained
13+
# in the API documentation here:
14+
# https://developers.google.com/youtube/analytics/v1/content_owner_reports#Filters
15+
#
16+
# By default, if you set a value for the --content-owner argument, then the
17+
# "filters" parameter is set to "claimedStatus==claimed". (On the other hand,
18+
# this value is not set if you are retrieving data for your own channel.)
19+
#
20+
# You can use the --filters command-line argument to set the "filters" parameter
21+
# for any request. For example:
22+
# * --filters="channel==CHANNEL_ID"
23+
# * --filters="channel==CHANNEL_ID;country==COUNTRY_CODE"
24+
# * --filters="video==VIDEO_ID"
25+
# " --filters="claimedStatus==claimed;uploaderType==thirdParty"
26+
# and so forth.
