Unify datetime parsing #6010

Description

Various places in pandas convert a series of datetime strings to datetime64/timestamps/etc' objects. read_csv, to_datetime, upcoming
sql improvements and probably elsewhere.

The code paths each takes are seperate so that fast paths aren't consistently available, and it's difficult to apply improvements such as #6021 in one place
and have them apply everywhere. and there's room for internal incosnistencies in parsing behaviour (#5958).

#4826
#5993

Do something about it.
