GeoTools default branch changed to main

A quick public service announcement, the GeoTools default branch has changed to main.

To update your local repository:

git branch -m master main

git fetch upstream

git branch -u upstream/main main

GeoTools is following the development ecosystem (git, gitlab, github, bitbucket) and information technology industry effort to replace the use of word " master " in a professional context.
