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'

cmd/k8s-nameserver: fix AAAA record query response (#12412)
Return empty response and NOERROR for AAAA record queries
for DNS names for which we have an A record.
This is to allow for callers that might be first sending an AAAA query and then,
if that does not return a response, follow with an A record query.
Previously we were returning NOTIMPL that caused some callers
to potentially not follow with an A record query or misbehave in different ways.

Also return NXDOMAIN for AAAA record queries for names
that we DO NOT have an A record for to ensure that the callers
do not follow up with an A record query.

Returning an empty response and NOERROR is the behaviour
that RFC 4074 recommends:

cmd/{k8s-operator,k8s-nameserver},k8s-operator: update nameserver config with records for ingress/egress proxies (#11019)
cmd/k8s-operator: optionally update dnsrecords Configmap with DNS records for proxies.

This commit adds functionality to automatically populate
DNS records for the in-cluster ts.net nameserver
to allow cluster workloads to resolve MagicDNS names
associated with operator's proxies.

The records are created as follows:
* For tailscale Ingress proxies there will be
a record mapping the MagicDNS name of the Ingress
device and each proxy Pod's IP address.
* For cluster egress proxies, configured via
tailscale.com/tailnet-fqdn annotation, there will be
a record for each proxy Pod, mapping
the MagicDNS name of the exposed
tailnet workload to the proxy Pod's IP.

No records will be created for any other proxy types.
Records will only be created if users have configured
the operator to deploy an in-cluster ts.net nameserver
by applying tailscale.com/v1alpha1.DNSConfig.

It is user's responsibility to add the ts.net nameserver
as a stub nameserver for ts.net DNS names.

cmd/{k8s-nameserver,k8s-operator},k8s-operator: add a kube nameserver, make operator deploy it (#11919)
* cmd/k8s-nameserver,k8s-operator: add a nameserver that can resolve ts.net DNS names in cluster.

Adds a simple nameserver that can respond to A record queries for ts.net DNS names.
It can respond to queries from in-memory records, populated from a ConfigMap
mounted at /config. It dynamically updates its records as the ConfigMap
contents changes.
It will respond with NXDOMAIN to queries for any other record types
(AAAA to be implemented in the future).
It can respond to queries over UDP or TCP. It runs a miekg/dns
DNS server with a single registered handler for ts.net domain names.
Queries for other domain names will be refused.

The intended use of this is:
1) to allow non-tailnet cluster workloads to talk to HTTPS tailnet
services exposed via Tailscale operator egress over HTTPS
2) to allow non-tailnet cluster workloads to talk to workloads in
the same cluster that have been exposed to tailnet over their
MagicDNS names but on their cluster IPs.

DNSConfig CRD can be used to configure
the operator to deploy kube nameserver (./cmd/k8s-nameserver) to cluster.

Adds a new reconciler that reconciles DNSConfig resources.
If a DNSConfig is deployed to cluster,
the reconciler creates kube nameserver resources.
This reconciler is only responsible for creating
nameserver resources and not for populating nameserver's records.
