Can't set marker fillstyle #4073
Description
On windows, I can't seem to set the marker using a MarkerStyle instance (should this be possible?). If I am doing this wrong, how DO I set the fillstyle?
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.markers import MarkerStyle
plt.scatter([1,2,3], [1,4,9], marker = MarkerStyle('o', fillstyle = 'top'))
plt.show()yields
Traceback (most recent call last):

I think this has come up before #3895 but not yet fixed. The issue seems to be that scatter does not check that marker input is makerstyle objects and then does a bunch of internal magic to extract the path that is then passed to the underlying PathCollection.
scatter: fix marker kwarg bug. Closes matplotlib#4073, matplotlib#3895.
