Also support "main" as default branch for repo normalization about ccos-scripts HOT 8 CLOSED

Hey @akmadian, please do. We already have two repos (that I know of) that have either main (creativecommons/og-image-generator) or develop (cc-licenses-data) as the primary branch instead of master. We should update the code to get the primary branch from the repo itself.

Marking as blocked until we discuss this in the engineering meeting.

We're not taking any action on this until we have different default branches.

There are two considerations:

1. Renaming repositories that were created with master as the default branch name. We are waiting on GitHub to improve their tooling before we renaming branches on any of our repositories.
2. Creating new repositories. This issue prevents new repositories from being created with main as the default branch name.
