Description
It seems that `release-and-dependencies.zip` for v1.0.5 and v1.0.6 (as downloadable from this repo's releases) comes with too old HTTP client library (`google-http-client-1.39.2.jar`), leading to exception, when trying to use Kafka CLI:
```
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'int com.google.api.client.http.HttpResponseException.getAttemptCount()'
at com.google.auth.oauth2.GoogleAuthException.createWithTokenEndpointResponseException(GoogleAuthException.java:124)
at com.google.auth.oauth2.GoogleAuthException.createWithTokenEndpointResponseException(GoogleAuthException.java:143)
at com.google.auth.oauth2.UserCredentials.doRefreshAccessToken(UserCredentials.java:273)
at com.google.auth.oauth2.UserCredentials.idTokenWithAudience(UserCredentials.java:206)
at com.google.auth.oauth2.IdTokenCredentials.refreshAccessToken(IdTokenCredentials.java:125)
```
This happens when I try to use it after token expiration.
#### Environment details
- OS: Ubuntu 25.04, x86_64
- openjdk version "21.0.9" 2025-10-21
- `kafka_2.13-3.7.2.tgz`
#### Steps to reproduce
1. Setup everything as in https://docs.cloud.google.com/managed-service-for-apache-kafka/docs/quickstart
2. Try to list topics with:
```
kafka-topics.sh --list \
--bootstrap-server $BOOTSTRAP \
--command-config client.properties
```
The problem: OAuth2 library tries to call `HttpResponseException.getAttemptCount()`, which is not present in `google-http-client-1.39.2.jar` (it was introduced in v1.41).
It works (i.e., fails with exception related to expired token) after replacing HTTP client with newer version:
```
rm -f "$KAFKA_HOME/libs/google-http-client-1.39.2.jar" \
"$KAFKA_HOME/libs/google-http-client-apache-v2-1.39.2.jar" \
"$KAFKA_HOME/libs/google-http-client-gson-1.39.2.jar"
wget -P "$KAFKA_HOME/libs/" \

```
