meta: Switch "master" branch to "main"
The main repo voted to switch their "master" branch to "main". (The March 2023 developer meeting notes also has some details.)
I suggest we do the same here, for the simple reason to remain consistent with the main repo.
Not sure if renaming the branch is enough or if we need to do anything more.
Other repositories use either the default branch (currently master, then main) or stick to specific branches or commits. To my knowledge a simple rename via the GitHub interface is enough.
I'd like to move forward with this and proceed with the rename. @openwrt/packages-write please have a look.
+1. But it would be great to keep master synced up-to-date for compatibility.
Go for it.

I think keeping the master branch around (even if it's kept up-to-date) would only lead to confusion. Better to cut ties with the old name entirely.

Well, the main OprnWrt has had main and master as an automatic git alias for the last year or two. No problems so far.
So, I would like main as alias to master, or vice versa.
