[Alvaro-Kothe]

• closes BUG: memory leak in to_json when converting DateTime values #62204 (Replace xxxx with the GitHub issue number)
• 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.

This patch decrements all references obtained from PyObject_GetAttrString to fix the memory leak.

I used this script to reproduce the memory leak:

import pandas as pd

for _ in range(10_000):
    df = pd.DataFrame({'col1': [12.34]}, 
                      index=pd.date_range('1/1/2019', '10/1/2019', freq="D", tz="UTC"))
    result = df.reset_index().to_json()

and pinpointed the problem with valgrind, which have shown this:
