Description

Hello,

When use it in python3.12, and 3.13, I meet "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)."

I checked the https://docs.python.domainunion.de/3/library/datetime.html, they told me that this function is not present anymore. could you update the package?

Start by searching the s3fs package for uses of datetime.utcnow() and reproduce the warning under Python 3.12 or 3.13. Done means the deprecated usage is addressed and the relevant test suite passes without that warning.
