Doc of std::fs::canonicalize does not correspond to behavior #54056

Description

@mrclmh

The doc for canonicalize state that the function will return an error if a component in a path is not a directory.

Using canonicalize on a path with a file component does not return an error for me, e.g.

fs::canonicalize("./src/../Cargo.toml").unwrap();

works without error.
