bpo-36794: Document that Lock.acquire is fair. (GH-13082)

......@@ -66,6 +66,13 @@ Lock
This method waits until the lock is *unlocked*, sets it to
*locked* and returns ``True``.
When more than one coroutine is blocked in :meth:`acquire`
waiting for the lock to be unlocked, only one coroutine
eventually proceeds.
Acquiring a lock is *fair*: the coroutine that proceeds will be
the first coroutine that started waiting on the lock.
.. method:: release()
Release the lock.
