Rename master branch to something less offensive about noharm HOT 5 CLOSED

Python, Redis etc have all removed the term as it's incredibly racist towards people of color.
Also I've managed to land the change in Contributors Covenant, an inclusive project.

@femperi wasn't that more about removing slave?

@femperi can you post links to a case for removing master? I've seen compelling arguments for removing master + slave but master on its own doesn't necessarily have negative connotations. One can master a skill or master one's weaknesses for example.

As someone not affected by slavery personally or in my family history, I'm not in a position to comment on how big a deal this is, it's a simple change to make so i'm happy to err on the side of caution and grant the change.
