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'

safesocket: remove ConnectionStrategy (#10662)
This type seems to be a migration shim for TCP tailscaled sockets
(instead of unix/windows pipes). The `port` field was never set, so it
was effectively used as a string (`path` field).
Remove the whole type and simplify call sites to pass the socket path
directly to `safesocket.Connect`.

James Tucker 8dec1a8724 .github/workflows: reenable Windows CI, disable broken tests
We accidentally switched to ./tool/go in
4022796484 which resulted in no longer
running Windows builds, as this is attempting to run a bash script.

I was unable to quickly fix the various tests that have regressed, so
instead I've added skips referencing #7876, which we need to back and
fix.

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.

Josh Bleecher Snyder 63cd581c3f safesocket: add ConnectionStrategy, provide control over fallbacks
fee2d9fad added support for cmd/tailscale to connect to IPNExtension.
It came in two parts: If no socket was provided, dial IPNExtension first,
and also, if dialing the socket failed, fall back to IPNExtension.

The second half of that support caused the integration tests to fail
when run on a machine that was also running IPNExtension.
The integration tests want to wait until the tailscaled instances
that they spun up are listening. They do that by dialing the new
instance. But when that dial failed, it was falling back to IPNExtension,
so it appeared (incorrectly) that tailscaled was running.
Hilarity predictably ensued.

If a user (or a test) explicitly provides a socket to dial,
it is a reasonable assumption that they have a specific tailscaled
in mind and don't want to fall back to IPNExtension.
It is certainly true of the integration tests.

Instead of adding a bool to Connect, split out the notion of a
connection strategy. For now, the implementation remains the same,
but with the details hidden a bit. Later, we can improve that.

David Anderson 4460bd638b safesocket: simplify API.
On unix, we want to provide a full path to the desired unix socket.

On windows, currently we want to provide a TCP port, but someday
we'll also provide a "path-ish" object for a named pipe.

For now, simplify the API down to exactly a path and a TCP port.
