gh-97517: Add documentation links to datetime strftime/strptime docstrings

[mehdihassan93]

Addresses issue #97517 by adding links to format codes documentation for all strftime and strptime methods in the datetime module.

Changes Made

• Added documentation links to all strftime methods in date, time, and datetime classes
• Added documentation links to all strptime methods in date, time, and datetime classes
• Used the plain text link format as suggested by @StanFromIreland in previous PR feedback

Format Used

For a list of supported format codes, see the documentation:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#format-codes

Question

I've updated all the Python docstrings as suggested in the previous PR #132375. Should I also update the C extension docstrings mentioned in that feedback, or is this sufficient to start with?

Closes #97517

• Issue: Docstrings for some methods in the datetime module are not very clear or helpful #97517

To resolve the CI failure, see my above comment.

Please have consistent spacing, some docstrings have a line, some don't.

Not too many places in the standard library that have a link in a docstring like this, but I did find a few examples, and this does seem like a good idea, so let's go for it.
