bpo-34903: Document that some strptime formats only require 1 digit (GH-14149)

For datetime.datetime.strptime(), the leading zero for some two-digit formats is optional.

This adds a footnote to the strftime/strptime documentation to reflect this fact, and adds some tests to ensure that it is true.

When used with the :meth:`strptime` method, the leading zero is optional
for formats ``%d``, ``%m``, ``%H``, ``%I``, ``%M``, ``%S``, ``%J``, ``%U``,
``%W``, and ``%V``. Format ``%y`` does require a leading zero.
