fix: Missing version, updated timestamp and recent changes

[TheArmKing]

Google Play has introduced a new data structure variant that affects metadata fields with indexes greater than 100 (as tested, for now) in the ds:5[1][2] array. The array may sometimes contain an object at the last index instead of individual indexed elements. This object contains the metadata with keys corresponding to the original index, plus one. (e.g., index 140 becomes key '141').

Fixes #725 by

1. Modifying the extractor to use the fallbackPath if provided when the primary path returns null or undefined
2. Adding fallbackPath for affected fields using ['ds:5', 1, 2, -1, '<index+1>', ...] notation

I was trying to test this PR, but I think it doesn't work because of this problem.

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module '/home/user/dev/project/node_modules/google-play-scraper/dist/esm/index.js'

@facundoolano Any chances to get this merged? Right now we cannot use this library for some apps because it fails.

Were you able to test it? I reverted the issue you linked above.

Can I get confirmation from someone else this fixes the issue?

I'll try, but I think @TheArmKing needs to rebase over master to take the revert?

Try now and let me know if it also works for you

@TheArmKing Installing so it looks like this:

"google-play-scraper": "github:facundoolano/google-play-scraper#0280abf149b50682ca8f65c080302dc6d477c80b",

It works fine.
