Migrate zoneinfo to argument clinic #97955

Description

@sobolevn

Feature or enhancement

Migrate _zoneinfo.c to argument clinic.

It is proposed by @vstinner and @pganssle
Link: #19909 (comment)

Pitch

This will improve several things:

  1. help() on ZoneInfo methods. Here's how it looks now:
>>> help(zoneinfo.ZoneInfo.clear_cache)
Help on built-in function clear_cache:

clear_cache(...) method of builtins.type instance
    Clear the ZoneInfo cache.
  1. Add __text_signature__ property to methods, it is very useful: for example, python/typeshed uses it to be sure that stubs and implementation match
  2. Move all argument parsing to clinic, which is more convenient
