I reviewed and merged Paul's PR. I concur with Guido, the new
constructor perfectly makes sense and is useful.

About the implementation: date and time are crazy beasts. Extract of the code:

        if not 0 < week < 53:
            out_of_range = True

            if week == 53:
                # ISO years have 53 weeks in them on years starting with a
                # Thursday and leap years starting on a Wednesday
                first_weekday = _ymd2ord(year, 1, 1) % 7
                if (first_weekday == 4 or (first_weekday == 3 and
                                           _is_leap(year))):
                    out_of_range = False

            if out_of_range:
                raise ValueError(f"Invalid week: {week}")

"ISO years have 53 weeks in them on years starting with a Thursday and
leap years starting on a Wednesday" !?!

I advertised it on datetime-SIG some time ago but haven't seen much discussion there, so I'd like to bring it to python-dev's attention as we near the cut-off for new Python 3.8 features.

Now that `fromisoformat` was introduced in Python 3.7, I think `isocalendar` is the only remaining method without an inverse. Do people agree with this principle? Should we add the `fromisocalendar` method?
