bpo-32417: Make timedelta arithmetic respect subclasses (#10902)
* Make timedelta return subclass types Previously timedelta would always return the `date` and `datetime` types, regardless of what it is added to. This makes it return an object of the type it was added to. * Add tests for timedelta arithmetic on subclasses * Make pure python timedelta return subclass types * Add test for fromtimestamp with tz argument * Add tests for subclass behavior in now * Add news entry. Fixes: bpo-32417 bpo-35364 * More descriptive variable names in tests Addresses Victor's comments

+Performing arithmetic between :class:`datetime.datetime` subclasses and
+:class:`datetime.timedelta` now returns an object of the same type as the
+:class:`datetime.datetime` subclass. As a result,
+:meth:`datetime.datetime.astimezone` and alternate constructors like
+:meth:`datetime.datetime.now` and :meth:`datetime.fromtimestamp` called with
+a ``tz`` argument now *also* retain their subclass.
