varPop doc latex formula added
- There is a latex formula in the documentation of the [covarPop](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/covarpop) method, which is quite similar to varPop method.

- In Russian docs there are formulas both for [varPop](https://clickhouse.com/docs/ru/sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/varpop), and [covarPop](https://clickhouse.com/docs/ru/sql-reference/aggregate-functions/reference/covarpop).

Therefore, for consistency, it is suggested to add formula here too.

## varPop
Calculates the population variance:
$$
\frac{\Sigma{(x - \bar{x})^2}}{n}
$$
**Syntax**
```sql
varPop(x)
```
Alias: `VAR_POP`.
**Parameters**
- `x`: Population of values to find the population variance of. [(U)Int*](../../data-types/int-uint.md), [Float*](../../data-types/float.md), [Decimal*](../../data-types/decimal.md).
**Returned value**
- Returns the population variance of `x`. [`Float64`](../../data-types/float.md).
**Example**
Query:
```sql
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test_data;
CREATE TABLE test_data
(
x UInt8,
)
ENGINE = Memory;
INSERT INTO test_data VALUES (3), (3), (3), (4), (4), (5), (5), (7), (11), (15);
SELECT
varPop(x) AS var_pop
FROM test_data;
```
Result:
```response
┌─var_pop─┐
│ 14.4 │
└─────────┘
```
