[issue21862] cProfile command-line should accept "-m module_name" as an alternative to script path

[Nick Coghlan]

Interesting - I'd never looked at how cProfile works before, and the fact it already doesn't support the "-i" (interactive) switch makes it much simpler to handle than the pdb case.

So from a runpy perspective, this approach gets a +1 from me, but I'd prefer if there was someone more familiar with the cProfile module that was willing to handle the merge.
