Description

Followup to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-4543

Reasons:
1. v1/datastoreio.py (which uses googledatastore) has had a deprecation notice since 2.13 (admittedly citing a 3.0 Beam release).
v1new/datastoreio.py is the replacement, using the newer package.
2. googledatastore does not support Python 3, and 2.7 support is going away on Beam.
3. googledatastore depends on an old version of httplib2 [1], which is starting to conflict with other packages using new versions [2].
