gh-143959: Fix test_datetime if _datetime is unavailable

[serhiy-storchaka]

• Issue: test_sys globally requires _datetime for cpython_only test #143959

[vstinner]

I tested this change with this local patch:

diff --git a/Lib/test/test_datetime.py b/Lib/test/test_datetime.py
index 005187f13e6..013816e99b3 100644
--- a/Lib/test/test_datetime.py
+++ b/Lib/test/test_datetime.py
@@ -4,6 +4,7 @@
 
 from test.support.import_helper import import_fresh_module
 
+sys.modules['_datetime'] = None
 
 TESTS = 'test.datetimetester'
 

On the main branch, test_datetime fails with:

test test_datetime crashed -- Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/home/vstinner/python/main/Lib/test/libregrtest/single.py", line 38, in run_unittest

Exception: errors while loading tests

With this PR, test_datetime pass.
