Rename master branch to main branch

[linux-lukas]

A. Problem / Goal

In recent years there has been controversy about whether the "master-slave" principle in branches encourages prejudice, and in my view there is some truth to this.

The goal would be to rename the existing primary branch from "master" to "main".
