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'

Adrian Dewhurst 1ef5bd5381 util/osdiag, util/winutil: expose Windows policy key
The Windows base registry key is already exported but the policy key was
not. util/osdiag currently replicates the string rather than the
preferred approach of reusing the constant.

Aaron Klotz ea693eacb6 util/winutil: add RegisterForRestart, allowing programs to indicate their preferences to the Windows restart manager
In order for the installer to restart the GUI correctly post-upgrade, we
need the GUI to be able to register its restart preferences.

This PR adds API support for doing so. I'm adding it to OSS so that it
is available should we need to do any such registrations on OSS binaries
in the future.

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.

Aaron Klotz 6e33d2da2b ipn/ipnauth, util/winutil: add temporary LookupPseudoUser workaround to address os/user.LookupId errors on Windows
I added util/winutil/LookupPseudoUser, which essentially consists of the bits
that I am in the process of adding to Go's standard library.

We check the provided SID for "S-1-5-x" where 17 <= x <= 20 (which are the
known pseudo-users) and then manually populate a os/user.User struct with
the correct information.

Aaron Klotz 3a74f2d2d7 cmd/tailscaled, util/winutil: add accessor functions for Windows system policies.
This patch adds new functions to be used when accessing system policies,
and revises callers to use the new functions. They first attempt the new
registry path for policies, and if that fails, attempt to fall back to the
legacy path.

We keep non-policy variants of these functions because we should be able to
retain the ability to read settings from locations that are not exposed to
sysadmins for group policy edits.

The remaining changes will be done in corp.

Aaron Klotz d7962e3bcf ipn/ipnserver, util/winutil: update workaround for os/user.LookupId failures on Windows to reject SIDs from deleted/invalid security principals.
Our current workaround made the user check too lax, thus allowing deleted
users. This patch adds a helper function to winutil that checks that the
uid's SID represents a valid Windows security principal.

Now if `lookupUserFromID` determines that the SID is invalid, we simply
propagate the error.

David Crawshaw 6b9f8208f4 net/dns: do not run wsl.exe as LocalSystem
It doesn't work. It needs to run as the user.

	https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4803

The mechanism for doing this was extracted from:

	https://web.archive.org/web/20101009012531/http://blogs.msdn.com/b/winsdk/archive/2009/07/14/launching-an-interactive-process-from-windows-service-in-windows-vista-and-later.aspx

While here, we also reclaculate WSL distro set on SetDNS.
This accounts for:

	1. potential inability to access wsl.exe on startup
	2. WSL being installed while Tailscale is running
	3. A new WSL distrobution being installed
