Link to issue number:

Implement deprecations announced in #7949

Part of: #12123

Summary of the issue:

winKernel.GetTimeFormat and winKernel.GetDateFormat relied on deprecated Windows API functionality, as described here and here. "Any application that will be run only on Windows Vista and later should use GetTimeFormatEx."

Description of how this pull request fixes the issue:

This deprecated functionality was removed and any usages replaced with winKernel.GetTimeFormatEx and winKernel.GetDateFormatEx equivalents.

Testing strategy:

The only current usage was for focusing on selecting ranges in the Calendar View for Outlook (>=13). This can be done by selecting ranges in the Calendar View in outlook and ensuring the output (eg Speech Viewer) is consistently formatted.

Check for usages with

find . -type f -name '*.py' -exec grep -P "\bGetDateFormat\b" {} +
find . -type f -name '*.py' -exec grep -P "\bGetTimeFormat\b" {} +
