## Transition from master branch to main branch
"master" branch was just the default branch name from git originally, it was not selected
for lws to have any semantic value in itself. There's no problem changing it to the more
universally neutral "main" other than any explicit references spread around over the last
10 years to "master" breaking, which can be managed.
As a first step, I updated my push scripts, that keep libwebsockets.org git and the github
mirror in sync, to push stuff on "master" also to "main" branch to establish it. If you
currently refer to "master" branch in lws for build or CI, you should switch to using
"main".
For the next months the two should run in parallel and I'll move over references to
"master" in lws docs to use "main", eventually some point after the next release,
master will be deleted.
In github, I changed its default branch for libwebsockets to "main", since main and
master are updated in lockstep currently, this should hopefully have limited impact.
## v4.1.0 and v4.1-stable are released
