[issue10381] Add timezone support to datetime C API

[Alexander Belopolsky]

New submission from Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net>:

With timezone class added to datetime module, C API should be extended to at the minimum support efficient creation of timezone instances and access to the singleton UTC instance.

I am not sure whether PyDateTime_TimeZone details should be exposed in datetime.h because presumably programmers should access it through the abstract tzinfo interface.
