Add support for default git branch names other than "master"

Currently, several badger functions are built with the assumption that the default git branch name is "master (badge_last_commit(), badge_travis(), badge_coveralls(), and badge_codecov()).
Recent updates to git allow users to choose a different default branch name for their projects, and a number of R packages have made adjustments to accommodate this. Of particular interest, the 2.0.0 release of usethis will export a function to detect a user's default git branch (git_branch_default()).
Would you be interested in a PR to add support for other default branch names? I could implement this in two ways:
- A new argument in these functions that would allow users to manually specify a default branch name
- Automatic default branch detection, which would require less user intervention but add a dependency on
usethis
Both solutions could retain "master" as a default in order to avoid breaking changes.
