This PR adds UK, the United Kingdom, to the database.
The official ISO code is GB with official name "(the) United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".
The ISO code UK is reserved by the United Kingdom such that no country will every use it, however it's not the official one to use, so I used GB.
I used the name United Kingdom (Vereinigtes Königreich) here for convenience, because Great Britain actually only consists of England, Scotland and Wales, excluding Northern Ireland.
The Scots language doesn't have a 639-1 ISO code, only 639-2 (3 letters), so I used that.
The information about public holidays is fetched from https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays
