Migrating WebRTC repos to use "main" as main branch

Hi,

W3C is in the process of migrating away from using "master" as the main
branch for its repos:
  https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/spec-prod/2021JanMar/0017.html

I'm proposing to migrate our WebRTC WG repos that still use that name on
February 15 European morning. The list of repos that will change is:
    w3c/mediacapture-automation
    w3c/mediacapture-image
    w3c/mediacapture-main
    w3c/mediacapture-output
    w3c/mediacapture-record
    w3c/mediacapture-scenarios
    w3c/webrtc-extensions
    w3c/webrtc-ice
    w3c/webrtc-identity
    w3c/webrtc-insertable-streams
    w3c/webrtc-interop-reports
    w3c/webrtc-nv-use-cases
    w3c/webrtc-pc
    w3c/webrtc-priority
    w3c/webrtc-provisional-stats
    w3c/webrtc-respec-ci
    w3c/webrtc-stats
    w3c/webrtc-svc

What this means in practice is that if you have a local clone of the
repo, you'll need to run the following commands:
  git branch -m master main
  git fetch origin
  git branch -u origin/main main

Github itself will remind you of the need to update your local clone if
you try to pull from the previous name.

Please let me know if you have any concerns with that plan and its timing.
