summary:
Correct typos in `runpy.run_path` documentation (#151230)
*file_path* -> *path_name* in runpy.rst
The documentation for runpy.run_path refers to a parameter called *file_path*,
which doesn't exist in the call spec. However, *path_name* exists, and it is
implied that *file_path* actually refers to *path_name*.
