gh-71587: Drop local reference cache to _strptime module in _datetime

[neonene]

For 3.13 and newer, this PR fixes the following errors by making each loaded _datetime module use its own reference cache to _strptime module. The cache will be the same as the reference in sys.modules of the corresponding interpreter by importing _strptime module on each strptime() function call.

Main interpreter:

>_testembed_d test_repeated_init_exec "import datetime; datetime.datetime.strptime('200001', '%Y%m')"
--- Loop #1 ---
--- Loop #2 ---
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

Sub interpreter:

>>> import _interpreters
>>> for i in range(1,3):
... print('Sub Loop', i)
... interp = _interpreters.create()
... s = "import datetime; datetime.datetime.strptime('200001', '%Y%m')"
... _interpreters.run_string(interp, s)
... _interpreters.destroy(interp)
...
Sub Loop 1
Sub Loop 2
Assertion failed: PyUnicode_CheckExact(ep_key), file C:\cp\Objects\dictobject.c, line 1126

@kumaraditya303 Thanks for the review.

@ericsnowcurrently Maybe off-topic now, but is it possible to access the module state through a static type like:

// pycore_typeobject.h
typedef struct {
PyTypeObject *type;
int isbuiltin;
....
+ PyObject *current_ext_module // weak ref? or borrowed ref?
} managed_static_type_state;

Then, get_current_module(&PyDateTime_DateType, &reloading) in _datetimemodule.c?

That definitely could work. It's worth looking into for 3.14.

This should be backported to 3.13, right?

[neonene]

I agree to the 3.13 backport.

I just realized this fixes a long-standing problem and is not related to the recent work on _datetime. I'm guessing it would make sense to backport this to 3.12. (It's too late for 3.11.)

Sorry, @neonene and @ericsnowcurrently, I could not cleanly backport this to 3.12 due to a conflict.
Please backport using cherry_picker on command line.

@neonene, would you have time to do the 3.12 backport? I'm sure it won't require much effort.
