[google compute] preliminary support for GCE beta API
## [google compute] Preliminary support for GCE beta API
### Description
Google Compute Engine serves both a 'v1' and 'beta' API. Over time the
'beta' API will be promoted to 'v2'. New GCE features that are additive and
backwards compatible are added to 'v1'. But some features are only surfaced in
'beta'.
This PR is the start of building in support for GCE users to specify which
version of the API to use. The provided `demos/gce_demo.py` script has been
tested against the 'beta' API and works as expected. However, unittest fixtures
are heavily tied to 'v1' and will require more work to create a more robust
'v1' and 'beta' set of tests. For the time being, this PR provides the basics
for adding new `test_beta_` methods, but otherwise assumes the use of 'v1'.
Follow up PRs will begin addressing support for both API versions.
