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'

util/deephash: tighten up SelfHasher API (#11012)
Providing a hash.Block512 is an implementation detail of how deephash
works today, but providing an opaque type with mostly equivalent API
(i.e., HashUint8, HashBytes, etc. methods) is still sensible.
Thus, define a public Hasher type that exposes exactly the API
that an implementation of SelfHasher would want to call.
This gives us freedom to change the hashing algorithm of deephash
at some point in the future.

Also, this type is likely going to be called by types that are
going to memoize their own hash results, we additionally add
a HashSum method to simplify this use case.

Add documentation to SelfHasher on how a type might implement it.

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

util/deephash: specialize for netip.Addr and drop AppendTo support (#5402)
There are 5 types that we care about that implement AppendTo:

	key.DiscoPublic
	key.NodePublic
	netip.Prefix
	netipx.IPRange
	netip.Addr

The key types are thin wrappers around [32]byte and are memory hashable.
The netip.Prefix and netipx.IPRange types are thin wrappers over netip.Addr
and are hashable by default if netip.Addr is hashable.
The netip.Addr type is the only one with a complex structure where
the default behavior of deephash does not hash it correctly due to the presence
of the intern.Value type.

Drop support for AppendTo and instead add specialized hashing for netip.Addr
that would be semantically equivalent to == on the netip.Addr values.

The AppendTo support was already broken prior to this change.
It was fully removed (intentionally or not) in #4870.
It was partially restored in #4858 for the fast path,
but still broken in the slow path.
Just drop support for it altogether.

This does mean we lack any ability for types to self-hash themselves.
In the future we can add support for types that implement:

	interface { DeepHash() Sum }

Test and fuzz cases were added for the relevant types that
used to rely on the AppendTo method.
FuzzAddr has been executed on 1 billion samples without issues.

util/deephash: move typeIsRecursive and canMemHash to types.go (#5386)
Also, rename canMemHash to typeIsMemHashable to be consistent.
There are zero changes to the semantics.
