The default value of repository_file.branch parameter is not consistent with GitHub API

[galargh]

Affected Resource(s)

Please list the resources as a list, for example:

• github_repository_file
• data.github_repository_file

Expected Behavior

The branch parameter of repository_file resource/data source is consistent with the GitHub API and defaults to the name of the default branch of the repository (see: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/repos/contents#create-or-update-file-contents--parameters).

Actual Behavior

The branch parameter of repository_file resource/data source defaults to main. (see: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/integrations/github/latest/docs/resources/repository_file#argument-reference + https://registry.terraform.io/providers/integrations/github/latest/docs/data-sources/repository_file#argument-reference)

@kfcampbell Would you mind reopening this? It was fixed for the data source when #1129 you merged (thank you 🙇) but it still needs to be fixed for the resource #1128.
