fix: update google-gax and remove obsolete deps

[alexander-fenster]

@SurferJeffAtGoogle I think I found the right place to update, please let me know what should be done to rebuild these images for owlbot.

The new version of google-gax should pull all the extra dependencies that were listed explicitly, so I believe there's no need to list them one by one anymore.

How did you confirm this is true?

That's a result of a two years worth of work with protobufjs :)

Previously, probobufjs package ran npm install on runtime to install these extra dependencies whenever the pbjs tool was used. In v7.0, CLI tools (pbjs and pbts) were split into their own package protobufjs-cli with all dependencies properly listed. So they are pulled automatically now:

fenster-macbookpro1:synthtool fenster$ cd /tmp
fenster-macbookpro1:tmp fenster$ mkdir testgax
cfenster-macbookpro1:tmp fenster$ cd testgax
fenster-macbookpro1:testgax fenster$ echo {} > package.json
fenster-macbookpro1:testgax fenster$ npm install [email protected]
