+- Issue #23517: Fix rounding in fromtimestamp() and utcfromtimestamp() methods
+  of datetime.datetime: microseconds are now rounded to nearest with ties
+  going to nearest even integer (ROUND_HALF_EVEN), instead of being rounding
+  towards minus infinity (ROUND_FLOOR). It's important that these methods use
+  the same rounding mode than datetime.timedelta to keep the property:
+  (datetime(1970,1,1) + timedelta(seconds=t)) == datetime.utcfromtimestamp(t).
+  It also the rounding mode used by round(float) for example.
