Extended Zip Function with Fillvalue

The function accepts any number of iterable objects and returns an iterator that returns a tuple containing elements from each iterable. If an element is missing in an iterable, it is filled with fillvalue. When the longest iterable is exhausted, the shorter iterables continue to be filled with fillvalue.
