builder/googlecompute: Use ssh_private_key_file if provided

This seemed to be missing from the googlecompute provider. Now if the
ssh_private_key_file is provided, that will be used in place of a temporary
key. I didn't update the googlecompute specific docs under `./website/`, since
this parameter is already documented under the communicators templates page.
