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'

Percy Wegmann db231107a2 ssh/tailssh: accept passwords and public keys
Some clients don't request 'none' authentication. Instead, they immediately supply
a password or public key. This change allows them to do so, but ignores the supplied
credentials and authenticates using Tailscale instead.

Percy Wegmann 2e95313b8b ssh,tempfork/gliderlabs/ssh: replace github.com/tailscale/golang-x-crypto/ssh with golang.org/x/crypto/ssh
The upstream crypto package now supports sending banners at any time during
authentication, so the Tailscale fork of crypto/ssh is no longer necessary.

github.com/tailscale/golang-x-crypto is still needed for some custom ACME
autocert functionality.

tempfork/gliderlabs is still necessary because of a few other customizations,
mostly related to TTY handling.

Originally implemented in 46fd4e58a2,
which was reverted in b60f6b849a to
keep the change out of v1.80.

This reverts commit 46fd4e58a2.

We don't want to include this in 1.80 yet, but can add it back post 1.80.

Percy Wegmann 4b525fdda0 ssh/tailssh: only chdir incubator process to user's homedir when necessary and possible
Instead of changing the working directory before launching the incubator process,
this now just changes the working directory after dropping privileges, at which
point we're more likely to be able to enter the user's home directory since we're
running as the user.

For paths that use the 'login' or 'su -l' commands, those already take care of changing
the working directory to the user's home directory.

Fixes #13120

Percy Wegmann 7d83056a1b ssh/tailssh: fix SSH on busybox systems
This involved the following:

1. Pass the su command path as first of args in call to unix.Exec to make sure that busybox sees the correct program name.
   Busybox is a single executable userspace that implements various core userspace commands in a single binary. You'll
   see it used via symlinking, so that for example /bin/su symlinks to /bin/busybox. Busybox knows that you're trying
   to execute /bin/su because argv[0] is '/bin/su'. When we called unix.Exec, we weren't including the program name for
   argv[0], which caused busybox to fail with 'applet not found', meaning that it didn't know which command it was
   supposed to run.
2. Tell su to whitelist the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable in order to support ssh agent forwarding.
3. Run integration tests on alpine, which uses busybox.
4. Increment CurrentCapabilityVersion to allow turning on SSH V2 behavior from control.
