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 265c76dbc5 all: unify some redundant testing.TB interface copies
I added yet another one in 6d117d64a2 but that new one is at the
best place int he dependency graph and has the best name, so let's use
that one for everything possible.

types/lazy can't use it for circular dependency reasons, so unexport
that copy at least.

Nick Khyl f023c8603a types/lazy: fix flaky TestDeferAfterDo
This test verifies, among other things, that init functions cannot be deferred after (*DeferredFuncs).Do
has already been called and that all subsequent calls to (*DeferredFuncs).Defer return false.

However, the initial implementation of this check was racy: by the time (*DeferredFuncs).Do returned,
not all goroutines that successfully deferred an init function may have incremented the atomic variable
tracking the number of deferred functions. As a result, the variable's value could differ immediately
after (*DeferredFuncs).Do returned and after all goroutines had completed execution (i.e., after wg.Wait()).

In this PR, we replace the original racy check with a different one. Although this new check is also racy,
it can only produce false negatives. This means that if the test fails, it indicates an actual bug rather than
a flaky test.

Fixes #14039

Nick Hill 9a73462ea4 types/lazy: add DeferredInit type
It is sometimes necessary to defer initialization steps until the first actual usage
or until certain prerequisites have been met. For example, policy setting and
policy source registration should not occur during package initialization.
Instead, they should be deferred until the syspolicy package is actually used.
Additionally, any errors should be properly handled and reported, rather than
causing a panic within the package's init function.

In this PR, we add DeferredInit, to facilitate the registration and invocation
of deferred initialization functions.
