[issue44663] Possible bug in datetime utc

Nope, the timestamps in the original report are about 3 hours apart (10808+ seconds).

Reports like these are often much clearer if they state the timezone of the system they're running on.

Plausible here: as the docs say, `utcnow()` returns a _naive_ datetime - no timezone info is attached.

But `.timestamp()`:

"""
Naive datetime instances are assumed to represent local time 
"""

So I _expect_ the results to differ unless the box this is running on uses UTC as its local time.

On my box, in native timezone CDT, the two ways are 5 hours apart, which is indeed CDT's offset from UTC.
