* Updated whats-new.rst with info on quarter offset support.

* Update doc/whats-new.rst

Co-Authored-By: jwenfai <[email protected]>

* Added support for quarter frequencies when resampling CFTimeIndex. Less redundancy in CFTimeIndex resampling tests.

* Removed normalization code (unnecessary for cftime_range) in cftime_offsets.py. Removed redundant lines in whats-new.rst.

* Removed invalid option from _get_day_of_month docstring. Added tests back in that raises ValueError when resampling (base=24 when resampling to daily freq, e.g., '8D').

* Minor edits to docstrings/comments

* lint
