Issue with 'fb_player_season_stats' function.

Issues with 'fb_player_season_stats' function for players who are listed under a club (using 'fb_player_urls' function), but it is their first season, or they are yet to make an appearance. Please see attached reproducible example.

The code has been fixed for the anomalies identified, with some functionality improvements, namely that the function is now vectorised:

# these URLs were provided in the MRE with issues:
old_problem_urls <- c("https://fbref.com/en/players/46dc146a/Claudio-Ofosu", 
                      "https://fbref.com/en/players/3bd54918/Joe-Grey",
                      "https://fbref.com/en/players/042f690f/Brad-Young")

# Code is now vectorised:
old_problem_data <- fb_player_season_stats(player_url = old_problem_urls, stat_type = "playing_time")

This functionality now means you won't need to loop as you had provided in the MRE:

#### No longer need to loop ####

#Get Pools players' URLs
pools_2021_player_URLs = fb_player_urls("https://fbref.com/en/squads/2af58c3d/Hartlepool-United-Stats")

# Pass all Hartlepool player URLs
pools_player_seasons <- fb_player_season_stats(player_url = pools_2021_player_URLs, stat_type = "playing_time")

Great work, thanks!

Unfortunaly, fb_player_season_stats() is still failing for some players if the stat-category can't be found on their fbref page.
Example:
fb_player_season_stats("https://fbref.com/en/players/88ced02c/Cameron-Carter-Vickers", stat_type = "passing")
Error in .f(.x[[1L]], .y[[1L]], ...) : check stat type
fb_player_season_stats("https://fbref.com/en/players/881e5db7/Joel-Castro-Pereira", stat_type = "shooting")
Error in .f(.x[[1L]], .y[[1L]], ...) : check stat type
Can be solved by using map(..., possibly(fb_player_season_stats, NA), ...), which takes longer so it would be really nice if this could be fixed.

@ChrisH1997 this should hopefully be fixed with version 0.3.2.2.

Thanks for identifying.
