Title: Use Outpan to search for book data in browser.

As I mentioned in Issue #134, Outpan is a free database of products licensed under the terms of CC BY-SA 3.0 (think wikipedia and stackexchange...). I also mentioned that we're currently strongest in the ISBN department so I thought maybe it would be a good idea to change the default book search engine from Google to Outpan.
I think over time we can incrementally integrate the Outpan API into the Zxing android app. But currently we are not the strongest when it comes to UPC/EAN, so for now in-browser ISBN search might be a good first step. Maybe next step could be in-browser product search and eventually getting data from the API and displaying it in-App.
We're working around the clock to bring prices, but price standardization is a tough problem just like product data standardization and this will take time.
