gh-136421: Load `_datetime` static types during interpreter initialization (GH-136583)
`_datetime` is a special module, because it's the only non-builtin C extension that contains static types. As such, it would initialize static types in the module's execution function, which can run concurrently. Since static type initialization is not thread-safe, this caused crashes. This fixes it by moving the initialization of `_datetime`'s static types to interpreter startup (where all other static types are initialized), which is already properly protected through other locks.
(cherry picked from commit a10960699a)

The Python C API ================ The C API is divided into these sections: 1. ``Include/``: Limited API 2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details 3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can change between minor releases 4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_ .. _in the developer guide: https://devguide.python.org/c-api/
