Description
### What would you like to happen?
Some very commonly used builtin types fallback to picklecoder right now, namely:
frozenset
datetime.datetime
datetime.date
It would be great to handle these specifically in FastPrimitivesCoder. I'm happy to contribute the code if the idea is OKed.
Also, if PEP 814 finds its way into python 3.15, it would be great to support frozendict as well. How does Beam generally handle something like that with a new python version?
