Empty Collection Handling with `next`

There are some issues when using next when providing an empty collection as a default, let's take this example:

from collections.abc import Iterable


def foo(iter: Iterable[list[int]]) -> None:
    next((item for item in iter if len(item) > 5), [])

This leads to errors in Pyright, as [] is treated as list[unknown]. Pyright Playground.

Here are the current next overloads:

@overload
def next(i: SupportsNext[_T], /) -> _T: ...
@overload
def next(i: SupportsNext[_T], default: _VT, /) -> _T | _VT: ...

I would propose changing the second one to:

def next(i: SupportsNext[_T], default: _VT | _T, /) -> _T | _VT: ...

This would fix the above issue, as in the case an empty list or othe rcollection Pyright could just infer the type as _T, while not disrupting other cases in which the types differ.

With this change in Pyright:

from typing import reveal_type

def foo(iter: Iterable[list[int]]) -> None:
    result = next((item for item in iter if len(item) > 5), [])
    reveal_type(result) # Revealed type is `list[int]`.

从 issue 中显示的两个当前 next 重载开始，并在链接的 Pyright Playground 中复现该示例。将推断出的类型与 reveal_type 的预期进行比较；当空默认值被接受且结果被推断为 list[int]，同时不影响默认类型不同的情况时，即完成。
