As @SnoopJ mentioned on IRC right after opening #2457, datetime.utcnow() is deprecated in Python 3.12 (and also datetime.utcfromtimestamp()). The recommended replacements for those items have been usable for most of Python 3's history—though we don't get to usedatetime.UTC instead of datetime.timezone.utc until Python 3.11 is our minimum version.

Notes
As often happens when I poke at stuff, there are some minor documentation corrections lumped in here that I didn't think warranted (a) separate PR(s).
I wanted to go further with this and get rid of pytz, but zoneinfo isn't available until Python 3.9. (There is a backports.zoneinfo package, but it hasn't been updated in a while and its issue tracker is starting to fill with reports of errors & warnings.)
