[chore] Replace blocking Floc with Topics. (#1068)

Google abandoned Floc in favour of Topics and changed the
necessary permissions policy. Currently, the Floc policy will
block Topics. This change includes switching to the updated
policy to be ahead of Google abandoning recognising the Floc
policy.

Update the function documentation to include the current relevant
documentation.
