Change locking activity on inactive issues

I request that old inactive (locked for comments) issues on tidymodels ( / tidyverse) packages still accumulate links when they are referenced in new issues or PRs. That way, users perusing old closed issues will be more easily linked to the most up-to-date issue(s) on a topic. (Particularly with locks happening after just 14 days after close.)

For example tidymodels/tune#215 was closed and locked. I opened and closed tidymodels/tune#381 with the intention that a link would be added at the bottom of #215 (as I'd referenced it) for anyone trying to do something similar. Yet because #215 was locked, no link to #381 was added. (This is an imperfect example as maybe I shouldn't have created #381 as it's essentially just a comment on a closed issue -- rather than a genuine bug or feature request -- which you are trying to limit. However in most cases continuing to accumulate links on old issues to newer topics may be valuable for people searching a pakcages github issues for some problem they are facing. I wonder if there is some middle ground here that allows for linking after comments are locked and doesn't leave issues overrun and tidymodels / tidyverse team slammed with notifications.)

Move `master` branch to `main`

The master branch of this repository will soon be renamed to main, as part of a coordinated change across several GitHub organizations (including, but not limited to: tidyverse, r-lib, tidymodels, and sol-eng). We anticipate this will happen by the end of September 2021.

That will be preceded by a release of the usethis package, which will gain some functionality around detecting and adapting to a renamed default branch. There will also be a blog post at the time of this master --> main change.

The purpose of this issue is to:

• Help us firm up the list of targetted repositories
• Make sure all maintainers are aware of what's coming
• Give us an issue to close when the job is done
• Give us a place to put advice for collaborators re: how to adapt
