Add observed holidays for Denmark #104

The provider for Denmark currently supports what are usually known as holidays (hellidage).

Other days days are also observed: 1) Lukkeloven (the Opening Hours Act) is the law defines when shops are allowed to stay open. In addition to the above mentioned holidays, the law prohibits most shops from staying open on Constitution Day (5 June), Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve (partially) after 15:00, so shop staff have these days off. Others usually do not work on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, though this is not covered by any legislation. 2) Labour Day (1 May) is not mentioned in any legislation, but for people working under a trade union agreement (80% of the work force does that), either Constitution Day or Labour Day (depending on local/industry agreements) is a day off (except of course for police officers, nurses, taxi drivers etc. who also work on weekends).

Also, Denmark observes daylight saving time.
