Failure when EuPMC doesn't correctly report the number of hits

At the time of writing queries like:
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/europepmc/webservices/rest/search/query=FIRST_PDATE%3A2017-05-22%20OPEN_ACCESS%3Ay&resulttype=core&pageSize=1000&cursorMark=*

report m hits but actually return m-n.

This leaves getpapers tying to load the next page but this page is empty. This means we keep trying forever.

We shouldn't do this. We should also start writing tests to cover these odder and odder issues with the API so that as we fix one we don't break normal functionality or a fix from the past.
