This commit resolves an issue where flexible arithmetic methods (e.g.,
add,sub) on apandas.Seriesbacked by anExtensionArraydid not correctly handle thefill_valueparameter. Previously, the_flex_methodfailed to apply thefill_valueto missing data before performing the operation, leading to unexpectedNotImplementedErroror incorrect results. This behavior was inconsistent with Series backed by NumPy arrays.The fix adjusts the logic in
Series._flex_methodto properly substitute missing values with the providedfill_valueprior to executing the arithmetic operation on theExtensionArray. This ensures consistent and predictable behavior across different Series types.
