Description
In https://github.com/django/django/commit/188b003014dc727ca22f7fafb21cf2fa0b3472d2, django.forms.fields.DateTimeField.input_formats has been changed to be a generator instead of the previous list. This type change does not seem to have been documented anywhere, leading to unexpected errors during migration and does not match the type of the input_formats for the other datetime-related fields.

I also updated the documentation for TimeField and DateField because the input_formats attribute for both fields are also generators since they are lazily evaluated.
I believe that the changes made to django.forms.fields.DateTimeField.input_formats from https://github.com/django/django/commit/188b003014dc727ca22f7fafb21cf2fa0b3472d2 are redundant. The previous initialization is already lazily evaluated, so there is no need to include the class DateTimeFormatsIterator to define the generator. Should this part be reverted?

get_format_lazy() doesn't support multiple settings so DateTimeFormatsIterator is necessary.

Thanks for the report. We should update the docs.
