[docs] [issue26240] Docstring of the subprocess module should be cleaned up

[Antony Lee]

New submission from Antony Lee:

subprocess.__doc__ currently contains copies for the docstrings of a bunch of functions in the module (... but not subprocess.run).  The docs for the Popen class should be moved into that class' docstring.  The module's docstring also mentions the list2cmdline "method" (actually a function, and the qualifier "method"/"function" is missing the second time this function is mentioned ("The list2cmdline is designed ...")), but that function doesn't appear in `__all__` and thus not in the official HTML docs (yes, I know pydoc subprocess.list2cmdline works).
