Add troubleshooting section for common Error 403: access_denied issue that occurs when users attempt authentication before adding test users. Changes: - Add troubleshooting section explaining Error 403 and solution - Clarify OAuth consent screen test user configuration steps - Explain "Google hasn't verified this app" warning is expected - Emphasize test users must be added before running gcalcli init This addresses a common setup issue where users encounter access_denied errors because they skip or don't realize they need to add themselves as test users in the OAuth consent screen.

Summary
Improves the API authentication documentation to help users avoid the common
Error 403: access_deniedissue during OAuth setup.Problem
Many users encounter the error "Access blocked: gcalcli has not completed the Google verification process" when first setting up gcalcli. This happens when they attempt to authenticate before adding their email address as a test user in the OAuth consent screen configuration.
Changes
Why This Matters
This change addresses a common setup issue that blocks users from completing the initial authentication flow. By clarifying the test user requirement upfront and providing troubleshooting guidance, users can complete setup successfully on their first attempt.
