Update selected RFC 2822 references to RFC 5322
RFC 2822 was obsoleted by RFC 5322 in 2008. This updates references
to use the current standard in documentation, docstrings, and comments.
It preserves RFC 2822 references in legacy API components to maintain their
historical context.
RFC 822 → RFC 2822 → RFC 5322 progression is explained where relevant.
In some places specific sections of RFC are referenced where it seems helpful.
Scout rule was applied in some places and RFC mentions format was
normalized in doc strings and comments.
Functions that take timestamp or timeout arguments now accept any
real numbers (such as Decimal and Fraction), not only integers or floats,
although this does not improve precision.
Based on the Wikipedia article, UTC is better said to be a successor than a renaming of GTC and language agnostic rather than an English-French compromise.
Update time.rst to use `the same clock as` instead of `the same clock than`
The time documentation uses the same clock than time.monotonic instead of the same clock as time.monotonic, which is grammatically false. This PR fixes changes two instances of `the same clock than` to `the same clock as`.

On Windows, time.monotonic() now uses the QueryPerformanceCounter()
clock to have a resolution better than 1 us, instead of the
gGetTickCount64() clock which has a resolution of 15.6 ms.
As per the comments, this mirrors the [datetime documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp).
```
>>> import time
>>> time.localtime(999999999999999999999)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OverflowError: timestamp out of range for platform time_t
>>> time.localtime(-3600)
Traceback (most recent call last):

OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument
```
On Windows, time.sleep() now uses a waitable timer which has a
resolution of 100 ns (10^-7 sec). Previously, it had a solution of 1
ms (10^-3 sec).
* On Windows, time.sleep() now calls PyErr_CheckSignals() before
resetting the SIGINT event.
* Add _PyTime_As100Nanoseconds() function.
* Complete and update time.sleep() documentation.

time.perf_counter() on Windows and time.monotonic() on macOS are now
system-wide. Previously, they used an offset computed at startup to
reduce the precision loss caused by the float type. Use
time.perf_counter_ns() and time.monotonic_ns() added in Python 3.7 to
avoid this precision loss.
`time.clock()` was removed in Python 3.8, but it was still mentioned
in the documentation for when `time.get_clock_info()` is given the
argument `'clock'`. This commit removes that mention.
The Y2K reference is not needed as it only points out that Python's use
of C standard functions doesn't generally suffer from Y2K issues; the
point regarding conventions for conversion of 2-digit years in
:func:`strptime` is still valid.
* bpo-13927: time.ctime and time.asctime return string explantion
* Add note explaining that time.ctime and time.asctime returns a space padded date value in case it contains a single digit date
* Reformat linebreaks
