[Google Maps API] Price Format Has Changed

[schaferyan]

A high volume customer reported Google Maps has changed the format of price for both Place and Search results.

We're currently scraping this correctly when type=search, but we are now not scraping the price for place searches. The customer also requested we scrape the price_per_person field from place results.

The customer followed up. They want to make sure we will still support the "$$" format, as prices are still sometimes displayed that way.

They also want us to scrape the full expandable price per person graph, not just the initially visible price per person field.

It looks like @tanys123's PR already covers these things, but I wanted to include the customer's requests here just to be sure.

@schaferyan Thanks for bringing up. Yes we already cover it - Price Range and Price Distribution. The format is dependant on how Google display it, we support them in any case.
