This is the part of the effort to make python typing correct #19389
The typing of the subtest decorator within p2p_segwit.py test file was incorrect.
Since subtest function is defined as a member of the class, it expects self as a first argument, and it is not provided. Hence the typing errors (that are currently suppressed by type: ignore).

Found 26 errors in 1 file (checked 1 source file)
However, the tests are passing, because there is no self argument passed when it is called as a decorator.
There is also suppressed pylint error # noqa: N805 pointing to the same issue.
N805 first argument of a method should be named 'self'
So the solution is to move the subtest definition outside the class, so the self argument is no longer required.
After doing so, both mypy and unittests are successfully passing:
