📄 Description

Updated the files in the examples folder to use client credentials flow instead of non-authorized requests (which, as mentioned in issue #194, is no longer supported by Spotify). Also updates this in tests/tests.py so that all tests pass.

Also fixed the test_search_timeout function in tests/tests.py, which was looking for a requests.ReadTimeout exception. According to the requests docs, this should actually be requests.exceptions.Timeout.
