Hi team,

I noticed that Scholarly doesn't output the PDF link (only pub_url), so I'm attempting to add this feature.

Description

Edited PublicationParser() fill() in publication_parser.py to add HTML parsing for the pdf link.

Example publication with pdf link: https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=ynWS968AAAAJ&citation_for_view=ynWS968AAAAJ:8xutWZnSdmoC
