publication `fill` both updates **in place** and returns the same publication

[neuromechanist]

Describe the bug Here is the definition of the fill method:

def fill(self, publication: Publication)->Publication:
.
.
.
    return publication

To Reproduce

import scholarly
query = scholarly.search_pubs('general relativity')
query = next(query)

filled_query = scholarly.fill(query)

# check if filled_query and query are the same
filled_query is query

Expected behavior Updating the publication in place is redundant when there is a returned publication. I suggest copying the the publication and updating the copy, so the original publication remains intact. The other option is to make the changes in place and remove the return statement.
