Description

With the advent of TPC and PSC, there’s a lot of complexity with apiEndpoints. To improve, we should:
- expose an `async Storage#getEndpoint()` method
- make the `apiEndpoint` property private
- remove the `useAuthWithCustomEndpoint` parameter/property
- remove the internal `customEndpoint` parameter/property

Additionally, if `STORAGE_EMULATOR_HOST` is detected and used the [`PassThrough`](https://github.com/googleapis/google-auth-library-nodejs/blob/b070ffbfeb35a7f4552e86bf1840645096951b58/src/auth/passthrough.ts#L19-L26) `AuthClient` should be used by default (which can be overwritten via the existing `authClient` parameter) - removing the need for the `useAuthWithCustomEndpoint` parameter.

This will greatly clean-up the code base as:
- Customers will not be required to manually provide the `universeDomain` - as we can determine it asynchronously via `GoogleAuth#getUniverseDomain`. This is a **major** convenience for TPC customers.
- We can offer a predictable, secure experience by not disabling auth by default when an `apiEndpoint` has been provided
- Classes will no longer have to distinguish between auth and non-auth contexts - we can simply use `auth` everywhere uniformly
