### Version

ghcr.io/dexidp/dex:v2.34.0

### Storage Type

Kubernetes

### Installation Type

Other (specify below)

### Expected Behavior

google connector successfully use Application Default Credential via Compute Engine metadata server

### Actual Behavior

failed to initialize server: server: Failed to open connector google: failed to open connector: failed to create connector google: could not create directory service: unable to parse credentials to config: unexpected end of JSON input

### Steps To Reproduce

1. deploy dex on GCE / GKE. Use google connector without specifying `serviceAccountFilePath`
2. check the logs

### Additional Information

I installed dex via ArgoCD's `install.yaml`, and replaced its version from v2.30.2 to v2.34.0.
My setup worked OK before, with a key file in serviceAccountFilePath.

I tried running the following code on the same GKE pod by `kubectl exec`, and it went all good.
```
func main() {
        cred, err := google.FindDefaultCredentials(context.Background())
        if err != nil {
                fmt.Errorf("FindDefaultCredentials: %w", err)
        }
        fmt.Printf("Json: %v\n", cred.JSON)
        cfg, err := google.JWTConfigFromJSON(cred.JSON, admin.AdminDirectoryGroupReadonlyScope)
        if err != nil {
                fmt.Errorf("JWTConfigFromJSON: %w\n", err)
        }
        fmt.Printf("cfg: %v\n", cfg)
}
```
The above code works OK with following output, which is something I expected.
```
cred: &{my-project-name 0xc0000aed00 []}
Json:
cfg: <nil>
```

The code does basically the same as dex v2.34.0, so I am not sure why it doesn't work in dex.

### Configuration

```yaml
connectors:
    - type: google
      id: google
      name: Google
      config:
        issuer: https://accounts.google.com

        hostedDomains: ['my.domain']
        serviceAccountFilePath: /tmp/keyfile.json
        adminEmail: test@my.domain
```


### Logs

Pull request:
Google: Implement groups fetch by default service account from metadata (support for GKE workload identity)
#### Overview
Hello,

This pull request addresses the need to fetch groups using the default service account from metadata in the Dex Google Connector. It adds more robust support for Google Cloud Platform environments, particularly GKE Workload Identity, and increases the module's resilience and versatility.

#### What this PR does / why we need it

Fix #2676

#### Special notes for your reviewer

#### Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?
No

```release-note
Implement groups fetch by default service account from metadata (support for GKE workload identity)
```
