Conversation
- Alter heading of prior section to clarify which IAM permissions recommendations apply to the user running the `packer` binary and which apply to the temporary VM created by Packer - add roles/iam.serviceAccountUser to the list of minimum recommended IAM permissions for the temporary VM service account. This ensures that the VM can modify its own metadata when startup-script execution completes. Ref: https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/understanding-roles#compute.instanceAdmin.v1
