Use main as Primary Branch (MHKiT-Software#367)

This PR updates our git workflow to use `main` as the MHKiT default
branch :
- Many modern projects use `main` as the default branch, aligning with
the GitHub recommendation and broader conventions.
- There is some non-linear history in the previous rebase causing issues
between `develop` & `master`
- `main` was created from the current `develop` branch creating a 1-to-1
liner history between `develop` and the new `main` branch
