Change default branch to develop

@ajvb would it make sense to set the default branch in the Github project settings to the develop branch? This would lead to less confusion on new PRs which want to be merged into the master branch by default. This would also lead to less confusion on the state of commits, as the develop branch is much more active.

The problem with that (at least the last time we looked into it, which was awhile ago) was that go get ...sops... would then pull and install off of the develop branch. Same when used as a library.

If we can resolve that, then absolutely!

I am not sure if that is really an issue, people should absolutely be pulling at specific tags e.g.

go get github.com/mozilla/[email protected]

or even

go get github.com/mozilla/sops@master

never...

go get github.com/mozilla/sops

@onedr0p Agreed. As well, I hadn't been following the deprecation of go get to install binaries. I'd say once we upgrade to Go v1.17 (which will be in the next release), we should give this a try.
