Can you include state holidays in USAPublicHoliday? #44

I see that CanadaPublicHoliday takes an argument to determine Province, can there be something similar for American States? Some states don't observe some federal holidays, or observe them on different days than what is currently returned, not to mention all the state-only holidays. See Delaware not celebrating President's Day as an example.

Canada is relatively simple compared to the US... The US list is legal federal holidays (mail, federal offices, federally certified banks).

For states (legal holidays for state employees), the main variation I know is Columbus Day. Just to make it interesting, the official names also vary (Washington's Birthday vs Presidents Day). I don't have a comprehensive list of legal state holidays (as opposed to observances) - if you know a good site let me know.

In addition to federal + 50 states, the NY stock exchange holidays include Good Friday, but not Veterans Day or Columbus Day.
