DeprecationWarning upon "import holidays" in version 0.17
The implementation of deprecating the Swaziland calendar contains a bug. Just importing the holidays package is enough to fire the `DeprecationWarning`.

**Steps to reproduce (in bash):**

```bash
# Setup
python -m venv demo
source demo/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip

# Bad version
pip install holidays==0.17

# Expose bug
python -W error::DeprecationWarning -c 'import holidays'

# Workoround
pip uninstall -y holidays
pip install holidays!=0.17
python -W error::DeprecationWarning -c 'import holidays'

# Cleanup
deactivate
rm -rf demo
```

**Expected behavior:**

The `DeprecationWarning` should only fire when the user constructs an instance of the `Swaziland` or a subclass.
