Thread-safe file implementation of a credential store.
For security purposes, the file's permissions are set such that the file is only accessible by
the file's owner.
Note: this class is not compatible with Android lower than API level 26 (Oreo). For an
implementation compatible with Android < 26, please use
com.google.api.client.extensions.android.util.store.FileDataStoreFactory which is provided by
com.google.http-client:google-http-client-android.
