[New-bugs-announce] [issue23084] nanosecond support

[mdcb]

New submission from mdcb:

nanosecond support has been discussed at length on python-dev and issue 15443.
POSIX.1b defines a struct timespec that is commonly used in C, and seems a good candidate to add core nanosecond support. kernel's time-related structs typically end up in the time module.

Attached patch defines a new type struct_timespec for the time module. A new capsule exports the type along with to/from converters - opening a bridge for C, and for example the datetime module.
