bpo-32403: Faster date and datetime constructors (#4993)

* Add tests for date subclass alternate constructors

* Switch over alternate date constructors to fast path

* Switch datetime constructors to fastpath, fix bpo-32404

* Add fast path for datetime in date subclass constructor

* Set fold in constructor in datetime.combine

* Add news entries.
