GOOGLE_API_KEY no longer needs to be excluded from the environment

[matttilton]

The environment variable GOOGLE_API_KEY was added to the blocklist 3 years ago in order to fix #32213. At the time electron provided a default value for this environment variable Electron 1.7.6 Documentation and this caused unexpected behavior. Since then, electron has stopped providing a default value and now expects users to supply their own key Electron 11.1.0 Documentation. This is a minor annoyance that forces me to either run my code outside of the integrated terminal or rename my environment variable.

Yeah electron no longer sets a default electron/electron#15478 , we can remove it from the blocklist
