Description

Python 3.9 introduced zoneinfo timezone objects, with backports available to Python 3.6.

As ​per discussion on mailing list we will adopt zoneinfo in Django 4.0, using a pytz compatibility shim for those who need it until Django 5.0.

In addition, as per ​follow-up discussion, we will make it possible to use zoneinfo objects from Django 3.2, leaving any handling of DST changes to early-adopter user code. (make_aware()'s is_dst likely to be deprecated in Django 4.0 — see follow-up discussion and ​comment on initial PR.)
