Git has changed its default branch name to main, from master. main seems like a reasonable name for the main development branch. Other projects, such as Scipy, are also making this switch. I propose we do this too.

The only possible issue is Versioneer - I see it hard-codes master in some code, but I'm not sure whether this will have any practical impact on us.

I'm tempted to go ahead with this on the Github interface, and then clean up any breakage. Any objections?
