This draft PR is meant to show that setting props.path is not needed for special goals '404' and 'WP Form Completions' after plausible/analytics#5559. It is automatically synced to be the same as the resolved pathname of the event (if it is not set explicitly in the tracking request).

There's no particular hurry with merging this change. Anyone currently tracking these events with props.path set will keep seeing exactly what they're seeing right now.

There's a slight serialization difference between event.pathname and some values of event.props.path, so it might be wise to introduce these changes in a major version change.

The PR plausible/analytics#5559 is live since about July 14th. The previous approach also still works, but in the docs, we now share the new approach: https://plausible.io/docs/error-pages-tracking-404#step-3-paste-this-piece-of-code-to-your-404-page-template
