1. Improve support for non-master main branches …

   This commit improves Cargo's support for git repositories whose "main
   branch" is not called `master`. Cargo currently pretty liberally assumes
   that if nothing else about a git repository is specified then `master`
   is the branch name to use. Instead now Cargo has a fourth option as the
   desired reference of a repository named `DefaultBranch`. Cargo doesn't
   know anything about the actual name of the default branch, it just
   updates how git references are fetched internally.
   
   This commit is motivated by news that GitHub is likely to switch away
   from the default branch being named `master` in the near future. It
   would be a bit of a bummer if from now on everyone had to type
   `branch = '...'`, so this tries to improve that!
