<pull.758.git.1603135902.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

To allow for an incremental conversion to a new default main branch name, let's introduce `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_MAIN_BRANCH_NAME`. This environment variable can be set at the top of each converted test script, overriding the default main branch name to use when initializing new repositories (or cloning empty repositories).

Note: the `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_MAIN_BRANCH_NAME` is _not_ intended to be
used manually; many tests require a specific main branch name and cannot
simply work with another one. This `GIT_TEST_*` variable is meant purely
for the transitional period while the entire test suite is converted to
use `main` as the initial branch name by default.

We also introduce the `PREPARE_FOR_MAIN_BRANCH` prereq that determines whether the default main branch name is `main`, and adjust a couple of test functions to use it. This prereq will be used to temporarily disable a couple test cases to allow for adjusting the test script incrementally. Once an entire test is adjusted, we will adjust the test so that it is run with `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_MAIN_BRANCH_NAME=main`.
