Make goo.gl config optional

[danielo515]

Hello,

I can understand that, in order to share short urls you need the credentials for go.gl and that stuff.
But there are many use-cases where this is not required.
Any chance you make this configuration option optional instead of required ?

I don't think we'd have any issue with that if you wanted to create a PR.

Hello @CrossEye
I would love to, but I can't promise anything because I have lots of things to do and very little time.
In any case, seems that goo.gl is going to dissapear, see this deprecation notice:

Thank you for the information. I hadn't seen it. Clearly we're going to have to make some change here.
