Add en_GB and en_US

[2br-2b]

What did you do?

Hello! Thank you so much for making this library!!!

I'm using this to bot to translate some strings for my python discord bot. To do that, I am mapping discord locales to Humanize strings, like so:

HUMANIZE_LOCALE_STRINGS = {
    Locale.taiwan_chinese : "zh_HK",
    Locale.german : "de_DE",
    Locale.latin_american_spanish : "es_ES",
    etc.
]

I wish I could also map British English and American English to en_US and en_GB instead of setting them to None, then doing a None check whenever I get the locale.

Especially since en_GB is listed as an example locale at the bottom of the Readme, I wish this was an option

Please include code that reproduces the issue.

>>> import humanize
>>> humanize.i18n.activate("en_US")
Traceback (most recent call last):

Would something like this work for you?

Yes, this seems to fix the issue for me! Thank you so much!

Great, would you like to put together a PR?

Sure thing! I'll have to do that after the weekend though - I've been working on this while procrastinating on my Ludum Dare game 😅

No rush at all :) Have fun with Ludum Dare!
