Will Norris 3ec5be3f51 all: remove AUTHORS file and references to it
This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in
the history of Tailscale's open source releases.

A Brief History of AUTHORS files
---

The AUTHORS file was a pattern developed at Google, originally for
Chromium, then adopted by Go and a bunch of other projects. The problem
was that Chromium originally had a copyright line only recognizing
Google as the copyright holder. Because Google (and most open source
projects) do not require copyright assignemnt for contributions, each
contributor maintains their copyright. Some large corporate contributors
then tried to add their own name to the copyright line in the LICENSE
file or in file headers. This quickly becomes unwieldy, and puts a
tremendous burden on anyone building on top of Chromium, since the
license requires that they keep all copyright lines intact.

The compromise was to create an AUTHORS file that would list all of the
copyright holders. The LICENSE file and source file headers would then
include that list by reference, listing the copyright holder as "The
Chromium Authors".

This also become cumbersome to simply keep the file up to date with a
high rate of new contributors. Plus it's not always obvious who the
copyright holder is. Sometimes it is the individual making the
contribution, but many times it may be their employer. There is no way
for the proejct maintainer to know.

Eventually, Google changed their policy to no longer recommend trying to
keep the AUTHORS file up to date proactively, and instead to only add to
it when requested: https://opensource.google/docs/releasing/authors.
They are also clear that:

> Adding contributors to the AUTHORS file is entirely within the
> project's discretion and has no implications for copyright ownership.

It was primarily added to appease a small number of large contributors
that insisted that they be recognized as copyright holders (which was
entirely their right to do). But it's not truly necessary, and not even
the most accurate way of identifying contributors and/or copyright
holders.

In practice, we've never added anyone to our AUTHORS file. It only lists
Tailscale, so it's not really serving any purpose. It also causes
confusion because Tailscalars put the "Tailscale Inc & AUTHORS" header
in other open source repos which don't actually have an AUTHORS file, so
it's ambiguous what that means.

Instead, we just acknowledge that the contributors to Tailscale (whoever
they are) are copyright holders for their individual contributions. We
also have the benefit of using the DCO (developercertificate.org) which
provides some additional certification of their right to make the
contribution.

The source file changes were purely mechanical with:

    git ls-files | xargs sed -i -e 's/\(Tailscale Inc &\) AUTHORS/\1 contributors/g'

Aaron Klotz 7c49cab1a6 clientupdate, util/osshare, util/winutil, version: improve Windows GUI filename resolution and WinUI build awareness
On Windows arm64 we are going to need to ship two different GUI builds;
one for Win10 (GOARCH=386) and one for Win11 (GOARCH=amd64, tags +=
winui). Due to quirks in MSI packaging, they cannot both share the
same filename. This requires some fixes in places where we have
hardcoded "tailscale-ipn" as the GUI filename.

We also do some cleanup in clientupdate to ensure that autoupdates
will continue to work correctly with the temporary "-winui" package
variant.

Nick Khyl e7325213a7 clientupdate: fix MSI exit code handling, preserve MSI and updater logs on Windows
In this PR, we update the Windows client updater to:
- Run msiexec with logging enabled and preserve the log file in %ProgramData%\Tailscale\Logs;
- Preserve the updater's own log file in the same location;
- Properly handle ERROR_SUCCESS_REBOOT_REQUIRED, ERROR_SUCCESS_REBOOT_INITIATED, and ERROR_INSTALL_ALREADY_RUNNING exit codes. The first two values indicate that installation
completed successfully and no further retries are needed. The last one means the Windows Installer
service is busy. Retrying immediately is likely to fail and may be risky; it could uninstall the current version
without successfully installing the new one, potentially leaving the user without Tailscale.

Brad Fitzpatrick 2531065d10 clientupdate, ipn/localapi: don't use google/uuid, thin iOS deps
We were using google/uuid in two places and that brought in database/sql/driver.

We didn't need it in either place.

clientupdate: fix auto-update on Windows over RDP (#10242)
`winutil.WTSGetActiveConsoleSessionId` only works for physical desktop
logins and does not return the session ID for RDP logins. We need to
`windows.WTSEnumerateSessions` and find the active session.

Andrew Lytvynov e561f1ce61
clientupdate: manually restart Windows GUI after update (#9906)
When updating via c2n, `tailscale.exe update` runs from `tailscaled.exe`
which runs as SYSTEM. The MSI installer does not start the GUI when
running as SYSTEM. This results in Tailscale just existing on
auto-update, which is ungood.

Instead, always ask the MSI installer to not launch the GUI (via
`TS_NOLAUNCH` argument) and launch it manually with a token from the
current logged in user. The token code was borrowed from
d9081d6ba2/net/dns/wsl_windows.go (L207-L232)

Also, make some logging changes so that these issues are easier to debug
in the future.
