gh-80620: Support negative timestamps on windows in time.gmtime, time.localtime, and datetime module (#143463)
Previously, negative timestamps (representing dates before 1970-01-01) were
not supported on Windows due to platform limitations. The changes introduce a
fallback implementation using the Windows FILETIME API, allowing negative
timestamps to be correctly handled in both UTC and local time conversions.
Additionally, related test code is updated to remove Windows-specific skips
and error handling, ensuring consistent behavior across platforms.
