Description
PubsubSubscription should be cleaned up and references to a "Fake" type removed.
start_signal/ is no longer needed since StreamingCreate has been replaced with an UnboundedReadFromBoundedSource.
random/ was created but never used in Dataflow or Apache Beam
Imported from Jira [BEAM-496](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-496). Original Jira may contain additional context.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating PubsubIO and PubsubSubscription, then search for references to the "Fake" subscription type. Inspect the start_signal/ and random/ directories and their references; done means removing the obsolete subscription notion and unused components without leaving references behind.
