Hello,

I just filled AVRO-3878 Rename default branch to be 'main'

Many projects have moved their default git branch to use the name
'main' instead of 'master'. Changing Avro's default branch name is not
only important for inclusiveness and conscious language reasons, but
also because git and github create the `main` branch by default, so
new and future contributors may expect 'main' to be default branch.

INFRA will do this once we ask it, of course the side effect is that
this might break some PRs/code reviews and eventually some of the CI
jobs (I will do a PR to rename the default branch in some github
actions to have it ready).

I think this is a small inconvenience for a good goal, I don't think
this requires a formal vote but I wanted to discuss this here to make
everyone aware, and let some days before going ahead to do it in case
someone has some issues or comments.

Ismaël
