New Zealand public holidays

[Mortein]

Added the 10 statutory holidays in New Zealand.

Technically, there's an 11th "provincial holiday", which varies by province. Provinces have since been replaced with Regions, but the holiday is still official. Regions somewhat match the old Provinces, but they are different. Wikipedia explains this much better than I can. As the state field from Nominatim contains Region, I'm not sure it's easily possible to match the provincial holidays to their correct locations.

If you'd like an accompanying issue, let me know and I'll create it.

The legislation for Anzac Day uses Anzac Day, not ANZAC Day.

Wikipedia and its sources (including the Holidays Act and Employment New Zealand) are incorrect.

You made my day. First holiday definition PR in a while that looks good as is and even adds a unit test. Thank you :)

If you'd like an accompanying issue, let me know and I'll create it.

Holiday definitions (and even worse school holidays) are not meant to be logical or easy for GIS systems. If you can provide a solution based on OSM data, I can merge it, otherwise, I am afraid, I cannot spend the time to work out solutions for all special cases of all countries in the world. Also, please have a look at #300.

Should I merge this then? You are free to submit a solution for the special case when you have something robust. I will add a hint to the README that this special case exists (rather than tracking it as issue here).

[Mortein]

Yeah, please merge this. It's at least a step in the right direction and 10/11 ain't bad.

If I think of a nice way for the Provincial holidays, I'll make another PR.

All right. Merged and deployed.
