[Google Maps API and Google Local API] Provide a Way to Use the Same Identifier with Both APIs

[schaferyan]

A customer recently requested help getting the ludocid for businesses they have a business name, place_id and data_id for. Right now, there doesn't seem to be a way to use the place_id and/or data_id for a place to get the ludocid.

The main way I can see for getting the ludocid of a business is to perform a Google Local Search. It would be helpful for this customer's use case if we could either scrape ludocid from Google Maps or Google Maps Places (if available) or provide a way to search Google Local with a Google Maps place_id or data_id (if possible).

I believe it would also be helpful for our customers in general to have a bridge between our Google Maps API and our Google Local API, as currently there isn't a good way to use them in conjunction.

@schaferyan The data_cid from Google Maps API can be used as ludocid in Google Local API.
