RFC: deprecate DateTime.pm *_rd_as_seconds

utc_rd_as_seconds

  - used internally. DateTime::TimeZone should calculate this value from
utc_rd_values(), for compatibility with other calendars.
  - does not use nanoseconds or leap seconds

local_rd_as_seconds

  - it looks like it was never used
  - does not use nanoseconds or leap seconds

Not using nanoseconds or leap seconds is quite intentional.  Since the
calculated values that DT::TZ uses also don't use leap second, it works
out fine.

Is that still in there?  Wow.  Yeah, that can go.

utc_rd_values() is _the_ communication method between modules. DT::TZ
should use it.
