PEG-3530 Migrate JVM-Commons and Prop default branch from Master to Main

The default branch does not follow branch naming conventions

The default branch of our repositories should be named 'main'.

In order to pass this check, ensure that your default branch is named 'main'.

What steps to take to rename master to main?

• Ensure all your workflows pointing to master also get triggered on main, by manually changing the workflows.
  You can check all the .defaultBranch entries in centralized-templates for the workflows you have distributed, e.g.

on:
  push:
    branches:
    - master
    - main

or

${{ github.ref != 'refs/heads/master' || github.ref != 'refs/heads/main' }}

• Rename master to main in repository settings
• Ensure engineers update their local environment to use renamed main branch (instead master)

git branch -m master main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main
git remote set-head origin -a

• Update the default branch to main (or remove the defaultBranch property, as it's main by default) in file-distributor, which will override the manual changes you did in step 1. to only trigger on main. 

Other suggestions (same purpose):

• rename the default branch through the repository settings on your GitHub repository
• create a PR where all instances of master in your workflows is renamed to main
• merge that PR
• (optionally) bump your .github/templates.yaml version to verify that you’re up to date on workflows and that the default branch is detected correctly
