BUG: Module `pandas._libs.json` has incorrect `__name__` attribute

[shwina]

Pandas version checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

>>> import pandas as pd
pd>>> pd.__version__
'2.0.0'
>>> pd._libs.json.__name__
'_libjson'
>>> pd._libs.missing.__name__
'pandas._libs.missing'

Issue Description

The __name__ attribute for the pandas._libs.json is set to _libjson here.

The Python docs say that __name__ should be set to the fully qualified name of the module, which I would expect to be 'pandas._libs.json'.

In the code example above, you can see that other Pandas C-extensions like pd._libs.missing have the correct __name__ attribute set.

Expected Behavior

__name__ should be set to the fully qualified name of the module, which I would expect to be 'pandas._libs.json'.
