[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - opening hours default PH off

[Robin `ypid` Schneider]

Thanks for all the feedback and insides about how other countries handle this.
Because of the problems that this proposal creates I think it is the best to
leave it as it is and cancel the proposal. So you have to be explicit (as
before) when adding opening_hours. I created overpass queries to find oh values
with missing PH definitions (those values are incomplete). [1]

To the US public holidays. They should be covered for all US states [2]. It has
been noted that the US has multiple holidays. Is that like the bank holidays in
the UK? It might be worth to defined them.
