The requireBranch should support "main" as default value

[bmuschko]

GitHub announced that new repositories will use main instead of master as the default branch starting on October 1, 2020. The default branch handled by this plugin is master. To make a migration to the naming strategy easier, the default value for git.requireBranch should be master and main. While I understand that the value is configurable, long-term there needs to be a change to the plugin code to avoid having to define main over an over again in consuming projects.

Ping! Are there plans to support this?

We just ran into this problem on a larger scale in all our internal projects. All gradle projects failed releasing afterwards because it wasn't a simple rename but actually a default value that now needed to be adjusted. I think it would help lots of teams if both branch names are supported. It is highly unlikely that a code-base has both names and you only want to release on one of them.
