pubmed: use untranslated title if translated not available
The primary motivation for this change is that fatcat *requires* a
non-empty title for each release entity. Pubmed/Medline occasionally
indexes just a VenacularTitle with no ArticleTitle for foreign
publications, and currently those records don't end up in fatcat at all.
