[Datetime-SIG] Allow numerical arguments for timezones

[Guido van Rossum]

There definitely are timezones with other offsets than whole hours (
http://www.timeanddate.com/time/time-zones-interesting.html). The reason
that timezone() takes a timedelta is to avoid mistakes in the units. The
world is better off with a recipe or an example in the docs than with yet
another variant to this API.
