pubmed: allow updates if PMCID does not exist yet
The intent of this change is to start updating Pubmed metadata records when a PMCID has been assigned, but that ext_id hasn't been recorded in fatcat yet. It is likely that this change will result in some additional duplicate PMCIDs in the catalog. But the principle is that the PMID is the primary pubmed identifier, and all records with a PMID should have the PMCID that pubmed indicates, even if there exists another incorrect record.
