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 ac0b15356d tailcfg, control/controlclient: start moving MapResponse.DefaultAutoUpdate to a nodeattr
And fix up the TestAutoUpdateDefaults integration tests as they
weren't testing reality: the DefaultAutoUpdate is supposed to only be
relevant on the first MapResponse in the stream, but the tests weren't
testing that. They were instead injecting a 2nd+ MapResponse.

This changes the test control server to add a hook to modify the first
map response, and then makes the test control when the node goes up
and down to make new map responses.

Also, the test now runs on macOS where the auto-update feature being
disabled would've previously t.Skipped the whole test.

types/persist: add AttestationKey (#17281)
Extend Persist with AttestationKey to record a hardware-backed
attestation key for the node's identity.

Add a flag to tailscaled to allow users to control the use of
hardware-backed keys to bind node identity to individual machines.

cmd/tailscaled: default --encrypt-state to true if TPM is available (#17376)
Whenever running on a platform that has a TPM (and tailscaled can access
it), default to encrypting the state. The user can still explicitly set
this flag to disable encryption.

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.
