Description

We have FixedOffset class each instance of which represents a timezone defined by a fixed offset from UTC, in Python 3.2 was added datetime.timezone class needed for the same purpose, so now we can get rid of our implementation.
The possible pitfall is that FixedOffset.dst() returns timedelta(0), but datetime.timezone.dst() returns None.

Perhaps the deprecation should be delayed and included in #27753, otherwise projects that want to continue to support Python2 won't be able to avoid the deprecation warning. Django's usage of FixedOffset could be removed now.
