BUG: conversion a JSON field descriptor into pandas type for deprecat…

…ed offsets frequency 'M' (#55581)

* correct convert_json_field_to_pandas_type

* fix pre-commit errors

* correct def convert_json_field_to_pandas_type in case freq_n>1

* remove print

* add parameterization to the test

* replace the regex with to_offset
