Fixes #1653 - see the analysis in the issue description. Basically the new WoS API is returning PMIDs in the record now, and the Profiles team is preferentially picking the PMID in the result and sending that when adding publications via the manual title search (I verified both of these). The WOS records adds a MEDINE: prefix to PMIDs, but when we get a request to add a publication for a specific PMID, we go straight to the Pubmed API to look for that PMID, and to do this, we do NOT want the MEDLINE: prefix. So we should strip it in this case for any incoming PMID we are sent.
