--use-keywords switch does not look to be supported

[nshraddha28]

The GCP public document mentions use of --use-keywords to generate flattened keyword parameters instead of a request dictionary. However when a customer tried to use it, it says its not supported.

Looking at the github code history, it was added in #208 and removed in #253. Want to confirm if the document was not updated or was this an accidental change?

Thanks!

@anguillanneuf or @pradn — do you recall the context for this change?

[pradn]

The option was removed in https://github.com/googleapis/python-pubsub/pull/253/files#diff-1ecfff2217a5265afd2bdcf0cf05cda3d1cbb254e005f91c6fa0c7cb8a82d6ec. But we didn't update the docs. We should.

This is the autosynth commit where the change was made. It doesn't have further context. 0333f76

Is there a reason why this flag was removed?

[pradn]

It was removed b/c the upstream code generator doesn't have this flag. The upstream version always overrides this repo's version.

To put it another way, we try to keep these scripts the same across languages and this flag was a custom flag for just this library.
