Sphinx autosummary modules should return module names without path

[4flixt]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We are using sphinx.ext.autosummary with _templates to create new files for each class, attribute, function.
This works perfectly for the above mentioned, where the template file contains (e.g. just for classes):

{% if classes %}
.. automodule:: {{ fullname }}
.. currentmodule:: {{ fullname }}

.. rubric:: Classes
.. autosummary::
    :toctree:
    :nosignatures:
    {% for class in classes %}
    {{ class }}
    {% endfor %}
{% endif %}

Note that we are setting with .. currentmodule:: {{ fullname }} the correct path to the current file and then document each class with: {% for class in classes %}. This works, because classes returns the class names without prefix (the path contained in fullname).

For modules, on the other hand, the approach doesn't work:

{% if modules %}
.. automodule:: {{ fullname }}
.. currentmodule:: {{ fullname }}
.. autosummary::
   :toctree:
   :recursive:
   :template: module.rst
   {% for module in modules %}
   {{ module }}
   {% endfor %}
{% endif %}

The problem is here that modules returns a list of modules with the full path.

Describe the solution you'd like
Have modules return only the module name without prefix (full path)

I think #6792 should raise the priority of this, because now Sphinx will reject the full path modules with an error. We had to work around this by doing:

{% if modules %}
.. rubric:: Modules

.. autosummary::
   :toctree:
   :template: module-template.rst
   :recursive:
{% for item in modules %}
   {{ item | replace(fullname + ".", "") }}
{%- endfor %}
{% endif %}

Please see #12609, which ought resolve this.
