DeprecationWarning: datetime.datetime.utcnow() is deprecated

[yuvadm]

Skyfield is using utcnow() which is being deprecated:

python-skyfield/skyfield/timelib.py

Line 134 in 2d104a4

return self.from_datetime(self._utcnow().replace(tzinfo=utc))

This results in warnings being thrown:

.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/skyfield/timelib.py:134: DeprecationWarning: datetime.datetime.utcnow() is deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future version. Use timezone-aware objects to represent datetimes in UTC: datetime.datetime.now(datetime.UTC).
    return self.from_datetime(self._utcnow().replace(tzinfo=utc))

I ran into this on "my side" using SkyField:
the fix is to replace:
datetime.datetime.utcnow()
with: datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc)

I have committed a fix and it should be in the next Skyfield release.
