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 1a963342c7 util/set: add Of variant of SetOf that takes variadic parameter
set.Of(1, 2, 3) is prettier than set.SetOf([]int{1, 2, 3}).

I was going to change the signature of SetOf but then I noticed its
name has stutter anyway, so I kept it for compatibility. People can
prefer to use set.Of for new code or slowly migrate.

Also add a lazy Make method, which I often find myself wanting,
without having to resort to uglier mak.Set(&set, k, struct{}{}).

util/set: implement json.Marshaler/Unmarshaler (#10308)
Marshal as a JSON list instead of a map. Because set elements are
`comparable` and not `cmp.Ordered`, we cannot easily sort the items
before marshaling.

Brad Fitzpatrick dc7aa98b76 all: use set.Set consistently instead of map[T]struct{}
I didn't clean up the more idiomatic map[T]bool with true values, at
least yet.  I just converted the relatively awkward struct{}-valued
maps.

Brad Fitzpatrick b69059334b util/set: add a basic map-based Set type
We have two other types of Sets here. Add the basic obvious one too.

Needed for a change elsewhere.

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

Brad Fitzpatrick ea25ef8236 util/set: add new set package for SetHandle type
We use this pattern in a number of places (in this repo and elsewhere)
and I was about to add a fourth to this repo which was crossing the line.
Add this type instead so they're all the same.

Also, we have another Set type (SliceSet, which tracks its keys in
order) in another repo we can move to this package later.
