Retrieve a Single Contact

Demonstrates how to retrieve a single contact (by contactId) for the Google Contacts API. Tcl

# Note: The code for setting up the Chilkat REST object and making the initial connection can be done once.
# Once connected, the REST object may be re-used for many REST API calls.
# (It's a good idea to put the connection setup code in a separate function/subroutine.)
