ENH: Support μs Greek small letter mu

[covracer]

The abbreviation for microseconds is best represented as μs, using the 0x3bc Greek small letter mu, instead of the 0xb5 Latin Extended micro sign. This aligns with:

• The International System of Units (SI) brochure
• NFKC normalized Python code and domain names
• Section 2.5 Duplicated Characters of Unicode Technical Report 25
• The microfarads abbreviation in Pandas tests
• Ruff confusable mapping updates (currently in the "preview" stage)

Ensure that both Latin Extended and Greek characters are accepted as aliases for microseconds. Prefer the Greek character in a comment. Looking at the UTF8 test data in test_clipboard.py, the degree and registered trademark symbols should sufficiently cover the Latin Extended character block, so prefer the Greek character there too.

• Closes ENH: Support μs Greek small letter mu #58472
• Tests added and passed
• All code checks passed
• Type annotations not applicable
• Added an entry in the latest doc/source/whatsnew/v3.0.0.rst file

Recommended changes for when the RUF001 updates graduate from preview to stable (can't be applied yet because of RUF100):

Thanks for the PR, but we require a bit more discussion on the enhancement issue from the core team before moving forward with PR so closing for now, but we can reopen if there's support for this enhancement request
