Make develop the default branch

See original GitHub issue

I think we should make the develop the default branch (or switch to master being the development branch altogether).

When users arrive at the repo, they should see the latest code on the main branch, not some other branch. For instance, users would typically make decisions as to how much the project is maintained by looking at commit log, without getting into much detail about the branching model. Similarly PRs will be made against the default branch (e.g. https://github.com/GeoStat-Framework/PyKrige/pull/147) which is the wrong branch currently.

That is why the 1.5.x branch exists. The develop branch should hold the development for the v2 version in the future
