Use the main branch by default.
After 2021-05-03, CPython's default branch will become `main`.
Since cherry-picker was designed for CPython initially, it would be great to use the `main` branch when backporting.


Others can configure the branch name using the ``default_branch`` config option, documented in https://github.com/python/cherry-picker#options
