[issue5094] datetime lacks concrete tzinfo impl. for UTC

Brett: "[utcnow] should at least get deprecated with a message saying that people should be using ``now(utc)``"

Yes, I believe all utcxxx methods of datetime are a kludge due to the lack of concrete UTC tzinfo:

utcfromtimestamp() -> fromtimestamp(utc)
t.utctimetuple() -> t.replace(tzinfo=utc).timetuple()
