Adds a "Non-inclusive slicing" subsection to the time series user guide (doc/source/user_guide/timeseries.rst) documenting how to perform exclusive-endpoint queries on a DatetimeIndex, since label-based slicing always includes both endpoints.

Covers two approaches:

  • Boolean indexing for open and half-open intervals
  • Index.get_slice_bound with .iloc for efficient non-inclusive slicing on sorted indices

This was suggested by @TomAugspurger in the original issue as a documentation improvement.
