Description

DatetimeIndex.offset and DatimeIndex.freq refer to the same thing, and are used interchangeably throughout the code for DatetimeIndex:

Is there a reason for having both?

TimedeltaIndex and PeriodIndex only have freq, so it seems like we could keep freq for consistency, deprecate DatetimeIndex.offset, and modify the DatetimeIndex code to only use freq.
