gh-102740: Clarify time.monotonic() "system-wide" in the doc (GH-136431)
(cherry picked from commit 9c4d287775)

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):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
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
Add new time functions:
* time.clock_gettime_ns()
* time.clock_settime_ns()
* time.monotonic_ns()
* time.perf_counter_ns()
* time.process_time_ns()
* time.time_ns()
Add new _PyTime functions:
* _PyTime_FromTimespec()
* _PyTime_FromNanosecondsObject()
* _PyTime_FromTimeval()
Other changes:
* Add also os.times() tests to test_os.
* pytime_fromtimeval() and pytime_fromtimeval() now return
_PyTime_MAX or _PyTime_MIN on overflow, rather than undefined
behaviour
* _PyTime_FromNanoseconds() parameter type changes from long long to
_PyTime_t
bpo-31803: time.clock() and time.get_clock_info('clock') now emit a
DeprecationWarning warning.
Replace time.clock() with time.perf_counter() in tests and demos.
Remove also hasattr(time, 'monotonic') in test_time since time.monotonic()
is now always available since Python 3.5.
* Separated functions and constants descriptions in sections.
* Added a note about the limitations of timezone constants.
* Removed redundant lists from the module docstring.
