Research direction

Start by reading the runpy.run_path and runpy.run_module entry points and the dependent BPO-19700 work on the PEP 451 update. The issue names no files, tests, or target semantics, so first establish the intended API behavior with the listed nosy contributors. Done requires an agreed implementation, coverage for both entry points, and corresponding documentation.
