Problem

DateTime - Duration treats days/weeks as absolute (fixed 24h) across a DST transition, while +, .add() and .subtract() treat them as calendar units. So the - operator disagrees with its own named method:

d = pendulum.datetime(2013, 4, 2, tz="Europe/Paris")   # spring-forward is 2013-03-31
d.subtract(days=3)          # 2013-03-30 00:00:00+01:00   (calendar — correct)
d - pendulum.duration(days=3)   # 2013-03-29 23:00:00+01:00   (wrong: wall time shifted -1h)
d + pendulum.duration(days=-3)  # 2013-03-30 00:00:00+01:00   (correct — add path)

(d - pendulum.duration(days=3)) == d.subtract(days=3)   # False

Round-trip breaks too: (dt - duration(days=1)) + duration(days=1) != dt across a transition.

Cause

_add_timedelta_ routes a Duration through self.add(**delta._signature) (calendar-aware), but _subtract_timedelta folded weeks/days into absolute seconds (delta._total):

return self.subtract(years=delta.years, months=delta.months, seconds=delta._total)

Fix

Mirror _add_timedelta_ — pass delta._signature to subtract, so subtracting a Duration is the exact negation of adding it:

return self.subtract(**delta._signature)

Absolute units (hours/minutes/seconds) and naive datetimes are unchanged; only the calendar days/weeks path around DST changes, to match .subtract()/+.

Testing

Added test_subtract_duration_days_across_dst_matches_method; it fails on master and passes with the fix. Full tests/datetime, tests/interval, tests/duration, tests/date, tests/time suites: 1021 passed, no regressions. ruff check/format clean.

Context: this completes the calendar-aware direction the project already chose for +/.add (#419); #518 reported the same asymmetry and was closed with an .add-based workaround that this makes unnecessary.
