Google Maps - passwords are no longer required in your config (0.97) #217

Google Maps - Google Passwords are no longer required to be provided in your config. An external program is now required to obtain the necessary cookie file to place in your Home Assistant config directory. This is due to the authentication process being removed from the underlying package. Existing users should remove the password: entry from their config file (username is still required). The cookie file previously generated should still be valid and will allow the tracker to continue functioning normally until the cookie is invalidated. New users will need to follow the instructions on the Google Maps Location Sharing page to create their cookie file.(shbatm - 25316) (google_maps docs)
