Breaking: Move British Crown dependencies to own countries

[XSpielinbox]

🐞 closes #270

[derTobsch]

Should we rename the description in the Holidays_gb.xml file from "United Kingdom" to "Great Britain"?

And also change the HolidayCalender entry? Because Locale.UK.getCountry() returns "GB" but it is named "United Kingdom"

Should we rename the description in the Holidays_gb.xml file from "United Kingdom" to "Great Britain"?

The official name is: "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"

If we change it, I would change it to that.

And also change the HolidayCalender entry? Because Locale.UK.getCountry() returns "GB" but it is named "United Kingdom"

The same applies here in my opinion. This is effectively the question of whether #267 shall also include to rename all country names to there official names. I would personally like that - then one also has the clear baseline there.

I would leave it like that for now, because "it is commonly known as United Kingdom". In #267 we can take a deeper look.
