bpo-44904: Fix classmethod property bug in doctest module (GH-28838)

The doctest module raised an error if a docstring contained an example that
attempted to access a classmethod property. (Stacking '@classmethod' on top of
`@property` has been supported since Python 3.9; see
https://docs.python.org/3/howto/descriptor.html#class-methods.)
