Description

Most contemporary github projects use `main` for their primary/devel branch (not `master`).
This naming is also considered more "politically correct".

It is a non-trivial change and can probably wait until after the release of lts-21.0 and moving nightly to ghc-9.6.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by inventorying references to the primary branch in the repository and GitHub configuration, with attention to the lts-21.0 release and nightly transition mentioned in the issue. Done means the primary branch is consistently named main and those release and nightly processes remain usable.
