http_archive and http_file should be wired to support --google_default_credentials

[udaya2899]

Description of the feature request:

Currently --google_default_credentials i.e. ADC supports only authenticating for remote cache and RBE. It doesn't use it to support downloading http_archive or http_file repositories if they are stored in a GCS bucket.

Feature request is for http_archive to also use the --google_default_credentials option to authenticate.
