Support context manager, so each developer can use this module more efficiently

Thanks for stopping by to let us know something could be better!

PLEASE READ: If you have a support contract with Google, please create an issue in the support console instead of filing on GitHub. This will ensure a timely response.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the Client class does not support context manager. Supporting context manager would make programmers easy to write and maintenance their code.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add __enter__ method which returns self and __exit__ method to free instance in order to enable contextmanager. Works as following would be perfect.

with storage.Client() as client:
    bucket = client.get_bucket(bucket_name)
    blob = bucket.blob(file_name

As of googleapis/python-cloud-core#100 (merged released with google-cloud-core 1.7.0), the following works:

import contextlib
from google.cloud.storage import Client

client = Client()

with contextlib.closing(client):
    do_something_with(client)

AFAICT, that addresses this feature request.

Should we bump our core dependency to 1.7.0? @tseaver

@danielduhh

Should we bump our core dependency to 1.7.0?

I don't think so -- google-cloud-storage works fine without that version, it is just missing this feature.

@nnaka2992 could you verify that pinning google-cloud-storage to >=1.7.0 resolves this issue?
