summary:

Update docstring of tempfile._RandomNameSequence (GH-6414)


When bpo-12015 got resolved by increasing the length of the
random string generated by _RandomNameSequence from six to eight
characters, the docstring of the class was not adjusted accordingly.
(cherry picked from commit 9c463ec88ba21764f6fff8e01d6045a932a89438)
