[hobbit] Holidays and planned downtime

I've just added this into my own servers hobbitserver.cfg, the default one was %m/%d, I prefer the reverse (the way you've shown in the config entry below).

HOLIDAYFORMAT="%d/%m"

So far no change, I'll let you know if the display/look does change.

By the way, my holidays were added in bb-hosts like this:

# You need to define at least the Xymon server itself here.
0.0.0.0         .default.               # holidays=us

I changed this to:

# You need to define at least the Xymon server itself here.
0.0.0.0         .default.               # holidays=US

And now my info page is showing US instead of us.
