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'

Brad Fitzpatrick 442a3a779d feature, net/tshttpproxy: pull out support for using proxies as a feature
Saves 139 KB.

Also Synology support, which I saw had its own large-ish proxy parsing
support on Linux, but support for proxies without Synology proxy
support is reasonable, so I pulled that out as its own thing.

Updates #12614

Will Norris 71029cea2d all: update copyright and license headers
This updates all source files to use a new standard header for copyright
and license declaration.  Notably, copyright no longer includes a date,
and we now use the standard SPDX-License-Identifier header.

This commit was done almost entirely mechanically with perl, and then
some minimal manual fixes.

Updates #6865

Brad Fitzpatrick da8def8e13 all: remove old +build tags
The //go:build syntax was introduced in Go 1.17:

https://go.dev/doc/go1.17#build-lines

gofmt has kept the +build and go:build lines in sync since
then, but enough time has passed. Time to remove them.

Done with:

    perl -i -npe 's,^// \+build.*\n,,' $(git grep -l -F '+build')

Brad Fitzpatrick 1db46919ab cmd/tailscaled: make build fail nicely on older Go versions
Due to a bug in Go (golang/go#51778), cmd/go doesn't warn about your
Go version being older than the go.mod's declared Go version in that
case that package loading fails before the build starts, such as when
you use packages that are only in the current version of Go, like our
use of net/netip.

This change works around that Go bug by adding build tags and a
pre-Go1.18-only file that will cause Go 1.17 and earlier to fail like:

    $ ~/sdk/go1.17/bin/go install ./cmd/tailscaled
    # tailscale.com/cmd/tailscaled
    ./required_version.go:11:2: undefined: you_need_Go_1_18_to_compile_Tailscale
    note: module requires Go 1.18

Brad Fitzpatrick a7cb241db1 cmd/tailscaled: add support for running an HTTP proxy
This adds support for tailscaled to be an HTTP proxy server.
It shares the same backend dialing code as the SOCK5 server, but the
client protocol is HTTP (including CONNECT), rather than SOCKS.

Fixes #2289
