Utterly minimal changes to collapse datetimetz into datetime, and timetz
into time. This is little more than *exporting* the datetimetz object under the name "datetime", and similarly for timetz. A good implementation of this change requires more work, but this is fully functional if you don't stare too hard at the internals (e.g., right now a type named "datetime" shows up as a base class of the type named "datetime"). The docs also need extensive revision, not part of this checkin.
