Crashes due to missing credentials.json file

[ftrotter]

On the first out-of-the-box run of the script, it crashes because credentials.json is missing.

Specifically:

Fmbpro:gContacts2logseq ftrotter$ python gContacts2logseq.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hey @ftrotter,

I resolved this by following these instructions on setting up authorizing credentials for a desktop application.

Google will prompt you to download a file called client_secret_1212133143141.json or similar. I renamed this file to credentials.json and added it to the same directory as gContacts2logseq.py.

But yeah, I agree - directions could be made clearer.
