[Mesa-dev] Rename "master" branch to "main"?

[Jason Ekstrand]

Trying to pick this discussion back up.  Daniel Stone thinks it's a
half hour of API bashing to retarget all the MRs so, if the fd.o
admins have some heads up, it should be tractable.  Should we do this
right after branching 21.1 along with the LTS branch?
