Remove the usage of eCPC bidding because of its deprecation

yangda · BenRKarl · commit a53ee0952f50 · 2023-11-15T13:48:13.000-05:00
To align with the [code example change](googleads/google-ads-java#742) requested for the Java client library. As seen in this [blog announcement](https://ads-developers.googleblog.com/2023/09/google-ads-shopping-campaign-enhanced.html), any Shopping campaigns using Enhanced cost-per-click (eCPC) will behave as if they are using Manual cost-per-click (CPC) bidding. Because of the change, I'm updating the examples related to the announcement to reflect the new recommended practice.
