`test_datetime` does not respect custom `setUpClass` and `tearDownClass`

[sobolevn]

Bug report

Example test case that can be possibly added to test_datetime.py:

class TestExample(unittest.TestCase):
 @classmethod
 def setUpClass(cls) -> None:
 cls.value_to_test = 1
 return super().setUpClass()

 def test_example_bug(self):
 self.assertEqual(self.value_to_test, 1)

./python.exe -m test test_datetime -v -m test_example_bug outputs:

test_example_bug (test.datetimetester.TestExample_Pure.test_example_bug) ... ERROR
test_example_bug (test.datetimetester.TestExample_Fast.test_example_bug) ... ERROR

This happens because of these lines:

Lines 39 to 55 in e6076d1

	for cls in test_classes:
	cls.__name__ += suffix
	cls.__qualname__ += suffix
	@classmethod
	def setUpClass(cls_, module=module):
	cls_._save_sys_modules = sys.modules.copy()
	sys.modules[TESTS] = module
	sys.modules['datetime'] = module.datetime_module
	if hasattr(module, '_pydatetime'):
	sys.modules['_pydatetime'] = module._pydatetime

	def tearDownClass(cls_):
	sys.modules.clear()
	sys.modules.update(cls_._save_sys_modules)
	cls.setUpClass = setUpClass
	cls.tearDownClass = tearDownClass

I proposed this fix: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/119675/files#diff-d4ea73ff6f3d1428ce4536793404e64ce7dbc1f6d0afe22f707ee0a24777afea but it was not merged.
