[Kde-pim] KHolidays regions

[Justin Eberlein]

Looking at the new file format and naming scheme, here's my current idea
for Christian holidays.

*The universal stuff like Christmas and Easter would get one file per
language: holiday_xx_*language*_christian.
*Catholicism gets an extra file, potentially per country.  (Some days get
moved around.  For instance, depending on where you are in the world,
Epiphany is either Jan 6 or the Sunday after Jan 1)
*Then as another universal file, I might make one with Sundays.  I'd
probably just make them cultural or seasonal.  This is just because I find
it handy having my laptop be able to tell me which Sunday of the year it
is.  I might be lazy and name it Catholic, but I know it'd apply to several
Protestant denominations.
*Orthodoxy...  I don't actually know much about their calendar, but I'm
sure I can figure it out.

Then I think after Orthodoxy, I'll move into Jewish and Islamic holidays.

Finally, I have two requests:
1) As implied, can we add christian as a supported variant tag?
2) For the religious files, is it fine if I break convention and go
December-November, instead of January-December?  The liturgical calendar
starts 4 Sundays before Christmas, so it might be easier for me to remember
everything that way.
