Full Release Notes

**This is an essential update for everyone to fully enjoy Scrapling as it's intended**

## What's changed
### Lower memory usage and small speed increase across all Fetchers.
- With new limitations across the library over caching size you will notice significantly lower memory usage than before while doing large numbers of requests/operations.
- Refactored big parts of the fetchers to easier maintainability and small speed increase.

### Bugs fixed
- Fixed a bug in `TextHandler` where importing it alone and passing a non-string value converts it to an empty string. Now anything passed to `TextHandler` is automatically converted to a string before being converted to `TextHandler`, this is forced on any value passed -- `TextHandler` as the name implies is intended to work with strings only after all! (#45 )
- Fixed a bug where the `retries` arguments weren't taken into account in most AsyncFetcher methods.

### Miscellaneous
- Update type hints for most arguments in all fetchers to be clearer and more accurate.
