Documentation

In multiprocessing.Queue documentation

"Queue implements all the methods of queue.Queue except for task_done() and join()."

The shutdown() method is not implemented and should be add too.
This applies all versions from 3.13.

    @YvesDup - in other news, since you are at it: would it make sense to add a shutdown method to multiprocessing.Queue ? Or maybe it simply wouldn't apply, due to its different nature?
