Let's set main as the default branch

Detailed Explanation

Long in short, this is how others do. And we don't have any reason not do to that.

Since master is insulting to some I see no reason why not. Just a few commands on our part is a miniscule price to pay for being more welcoming.

Moreover, main is the new default for new GitHub projects. https://github.blog/changelog/2020-10-01-the-default-branch-for-newly-created-repositories-is-now-main/

I'm also in favor of this change. It's not too hard to switch, should I just do it?

Ok, renamed master to main! Run git branch -m master main && git fetch origin && git branch -u origin/main main to update in your local repo!
