[issue15148] shutil.which() docstring could be clearer

R. David Murray added the comment: Yeah, Brian had it as 'file' before, and I asked him to change it because it is confusing. 'file' sounds like a Python file object, which this is not. 'filename' would be OK, but 'cmd', as you note, is what it is really about. One possibility for the path
