[cabfpub] Changing the default branch on https://github.com/documents/

As you may be aware, there is an effort underway in many organizations to
move away from naming the default branch of GitHub repositories "master"
[1]. This was discussed by the Infrastructure subcommittee and it was
agreed to change the name to "main" in the CAB Forum documents repository
on 31-July.

If you have cloned or forked the documents repository, you should update or
create a new one after this change has been made.

If you have built automation against this repository, you should plan to
change any branch references from "master" to "main".
