`asyncio.queues.Queue._wakeup_next` can be changed to a static method

[jonathandung]

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

Under the declaration of the asyncio.Queue class, in Lib/asyncio/queues.py:

    def _wakeup_next(self, waiters):
        # Wake up the next waiter (if any) that isn't cancelled.
        while waiters:
            waiter = waiters.popleft()
            if not waiter.done():
                waiter.set_result(None)
                break

It is clear that the self parameter is not used, since this is just a helper method, to reduce code duplication by separating out the common functionality of unblocking callers in Queue.get and Queue.put, with the waiters deque passed directly. Thus, _wakeup_next should be made static:

    @staticmethod
    def _wakeup_next(self, waiters):
        # Wake up the next waiter (if any) that isn't cancelled.
        while waiters:
            waiter = waiters.popleft()
            if not waiter.done():
                waiter.set_result(None)
                break

Since _wakeup_next is a private method, this change will be minor.

I will open a PR if required.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere

This is code churn that could be flagged by linters but we don't accept those changes.
