Clarify holidays which apply only to the USA
Clarify that the USSR no longer exists, but some of the holidays are celebrated anyway. Reviewed in part by: ru Remove Jewish and most Muslim holidays. They're all wrong, since they don't apply to the Western calendar. The much more complete Jewish holidays are in calendar.judaic. The Muslim holidays need to be collected into a file, but there's not much point in having the wrong date. Remove many Fiji holidays. They change every year by Government decree, and some were duplicated as a result. Remove some duplicates. There's still a lot to be done; in particular, I think the Japanese and British holidays are very inaccurate. This file needs checking by people who know the details.
