docs: drive: document Branding step needed to publish own client_id

Google now requires an app homepage URL and privacy policy URL to be
set on the OAuth consent screen's "Branding" page before the "PUBLISH
APP" button becomes clickable, even for a personal single-user app.
The existing instructions jumped straight to publishing in step 9
without mentioning this, leaving the button greyed out with no
explanation of why.
