Default set depending on country.
For most countries, this is the same as default.
However, for some countries it makes sense to add further
types – this type accounts for this case. Currently
this only affects the UK: local holidays are added as well.
This is to include days that are only valid in one of
countries – e.g. Jan 2 is a holiday only for
Scotland.
