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 a5dcc4c87b paths: remove wasm file, no-op stubs, make OS-specific funcs consistent
Some OS-specific funcs were defined in init. Another used build tags
and required all other OSes to stub it out. Another one could just be in
the portable file.

Simplify it a bit, removing a file and some stubs in the process.

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 b005b79236 net/dns, paths, util/winutil: change net/dns/windowsManager NRPT management to support more than 50 domains.
AFAICT this isn't documented on MSDN, but based on the issue referenced below,
NRPT rules are not working when a rule specifies > 50 domains.

This patch modifies our NRPT rule generator to split the list of domains
into chunks as necessary, and write a separate rule for each chunk.

For compatibility reasons, we continue to use the hard-coded rule ID, but
as additional rules are required, we generate new GUIDs. Those GUIDs are
stored under the Tailscale registry path so that we know which rules are ours.

I made some changes to winutils to add additional helper functions in support
of both the code and its test: I added additional registry accessors, and also
moved some token accessors from paths to util/winutil.

Aaron Klotz 21e9f98fc1 ipn, paths: unconditionally attempt to set state dir perms, but only if the state dir is ours
We unconditionally set appropriate perms on the statefile dir.

We look at the basename of the statefile dir, and if it is "tailscale", then
we set perms as appropriate.

Aaron Klotz 9ebb5d4205 ipn, paths: ensure that the state directory for Windows has the correct perms
ProgramData has a permissive ACL. For us to safely store machine-wide
state information, we must set a more restrictive ACL on our state directory.
We set the ACL so that only talescaled's user (ie, LocalSystem) and the
Administrators group may access our directory.

We must include Administrators to ensure that logs continue to be easily
accessible; omitting that group would force users to use special tools to
log in interactively as LocalSystem, which is not ideal.

(Note that the ACL we apply matches the ACL that was used for LocalSystem's
AppData\Local).

There are two cases where we need to reset perms: One is during migration
from the old location to the new. The second case is for clean installations
where we are creating the file store for the first time.
