rename default branch to "main"

@kuriwaki, after things are accepted on CRAN, do you mind if I rename the default branch? There are some git commands you can run locally, but honestly it's almost easier to delete and reclone your local copy.

Yes that crossed my mind too. Please do!
In R, this function usethis::git_default_branch_rename() does the job quickly and painlessly. But I get the following error when I run this.

✔ Setting active project to '/Users/sk2983/Projects/dataverse-client-r'
Error: You don't seem to have admin permissions for the source repo 'IQSS/dataverse-client-r', which is required to rename the default branch.
@wibeasley can you try on your end?
@kuriwaki you weren't part of https://github.com/orgs/IQSS/teams/dataverse-client-r-admin but I just added you. (You were part of the "write" team.)
Thanks @pdurbin. That worked and now the branch is renamed. I will fix the reference in our workflow from "master" to "main" as well.
