please consider renaming the master branch to main

[juhp]

These days it is considered good form and practice to call the principal branch of a project main.

This is rather easy to do particularly in github: almost a "1-click" operation in the project Settings.
Of course it may also need a few small s/master/main/g changes to a few files too, but should be straightforward enough.

It is not urgent, but please do consider if you could kindly make this change, thanks!

It breaks existing tools using this repository, is a workflow disruption and has zero benefits - except for consistency now that so many other projects have switched and that main is becoming the new default name. And consistency is something I value a lot.

So, I'll likely do that switch when AppStream 1.0 releases, as that will be a pretty huge breaking change anyway, and it would make sense to do all of these at once and have people adjust their scripts only once :-) (e.g. some people might also want to switch to the 0.16.x branch instead of the 1.0 main branch for a while)
