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'

James Tucker a96ef432cf control/controlclient,ipn/ipnlocal: replace State enum with boolean flags
Remove the State enum (StateNew, StateNotAuthenticated, etc.) from
controlclient and replace it with two explicit boolean fields:
- LoginFinished: indicates successful authentication
- Synced: indicates we've received at least one netmap

This makes the state more composable and easier to reason about, as
multiple conditions can be true independently rather than being
encoded in a single enum value.

The State enum was originally intended as the state machine for the
whole client, but that abstraction moved to ipn.Backend long ago.
This change continues moving away from the legacy state machine by
representing state as a combination of independent facts.

Also adds test helpers in ipnlocal that check independent, observable
facts (hasValidNetMap, needsLogin, etc.) rather than relying on
derived state enums, making tests more robust.

all: implement AppendText alongside MarshalText (#9207)
This eventually allows encoding packages that may respect
the proposed encoding.TextAppender interface.
The performance gains from this is between 10-30%.

Maisem Ali 959362a1f4 ipn/ipnlocal,control/controlclient: make Logout more sync
We already removed the async API, make it more sync and remove
the FinishLogout state too.

This also makes the callback be synchronous again as the previous
attempt was trying to work around the logout callback resulting
in a client shutdown getting blocked forever.

They were entirely redundant and 1:1 with the status field
so this turns them into methods instead.

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.

Maisem Ali c60cbca371 control/controlclient: store netinfo and hostinfo separately
Currently, when SetNetInfo is called it sets the value on
hostinfo.NetInfo. However, when SetHostInfo is called it overwrites the
hostinfo field which may mean it also clears out the NetInfo it had just
received.
This commit stores NetInfo separately and combines it into Hostinfo as
needed so that control is always notified of the latest values.

Also, remove unused copies of Hostinfo from ipn.Status and
controlclient.Auto.

Avery Pennarun 8a7d35594d ipnlocal: don't assume NeedsLogin immediately after StartLogout().
Previously, there was no server round trip required to log out, so when
you asked ipnlocal to Logout(), it could clear the netmap immediately
and switch to NeedsLogin state.

In v1.8, we added a true Logout operation. ipn.Logout() would trigger
an async cc.StartLogout() and *also* immediately switch to NeedsLogin.
Unfortunately, some frontends would see NeedsLogin and immediately
trigger a new StartInteractiveLogin() operation, before the
controlclient auth state machine actually acted on the Logout command,
thus accidentally invalidating the entire logout operation, retaining
the netmap, and violating the user's expectations.

Instead, add a new LogoutFinished signal from controlclient
(paralleling LoginFinished) and, upon starting a logout, don't update
the ipn state machine until it's received.
