ENH: Timestamp: Support addl datetime classmethods

doc/source/whatsnew/v0.15.2.txt

@@ -43,6 +43,7 @@ Enhancements
 
 - Added ability to export Categorical data to Stata (:issue:`8633`).
 - Added ability to export Categorical data to to/from HDF5 (:issue:`7621`). Queries work the same as if it was an object array. However, the ``category`` dtyped data is stored in a more efficient manner. See :ref:`here <io.hdf5-categorical>` for an example and caveats w.r.t. prior versions of pandas.
+- Added support for ``utcfromtimestamp()``, ``fromtimestamp()``, and ``combine()`` on `Timestamp` class (:issue:`5351`).
