DateOffset add to ndarray

[hottwaj]

This is WIP to implement changes needed to allow DateOffset subclasses e.g. MonthEnd to be directly added to numpy.ndarray, e.g. numpy.array(['2022-01-01'], dtype='datetime64') + pandas.offsets.MonthEnd(1)

I need some guidance on:

• cython mechanism to check that passed ndarray is datetime64 dtype i.e.cython equivalent of pandas.api.types.is_datetime64_any_dtype
• how to approach adding unit tests? two ideas I have
  • somehow duplicate existing offset tests but run them on ndarray instead of Series? looks on the surface to be more difficult to implement
  • apply a set of offsets to a predefined Series and ndarray equivalent, and then check results match

Many thanks!

• closes ENH: implement DateOffset + np.datetime64 array #47014
• Tests added and passed if fixing a bug or adding a new feature
• All code checks passed.
• Added type annotations to new arguments/methods/functions.
• Added an entry in the latest doc/source/whatsnew/vX.X.X.rst file if fixing a bug or adding a new feature.

Do we need the astype here?

I found that without this DateOffset._apply_array did not respect the dtype that was passed in

once the .astype step was added in, I could use e.g. datetime64[D] and get a datetime64[D] back

I'll do some further testing when working on unit tests

FWIW datetime64[D] is not a supported unit in pandas

This would also need tests and a whatsnew note in v3.0.0.rst
