[issue8903] Add module level now() and today() functions to datetime module

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Note that it is important to keep class methods because in some cases it is convenient to obtain now/today from datetime/date instances instead of importing them from the module.  So deprecating class methods is not an option and adding module level functions that are equivalent to existing class methods is not TOOWTDI.
