bpo-45799: [Doc] improve confusing sentence in __main__.rst (GH-29546)


I was reading this bit last night and thought it was a typo. In the light of day, I realized it wasn't *technically* a typo, but definitely confusing wording. This PR fixes the confusing sentence.

 This is where using the ``if __name__ == '__main__'`` code block comes in
