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'

release/dist: clamp min / max version for synology package centre (#13857)
Clamp the min and max version for DSM 7.0 and DSM 7.2 packages when we
are building packages for the synology package centre. This change
leaves packages destined for pkgs.tailscale.com with just the min
version set to not break packages in the wild / our update flow.

{release,version}: add DSM7.2 specific synology builds (#13405)
Add separate builds for DSM7.2 for synology so that we can encode
separate versioning information in the INFO file to distinguish between
the two.

Sonia Appasamy 54e52532eb version/mkversion: enforce synology versions within int32 range
Synology requires version numbers are within int32 range. This
change updates the version logic to keep things closer within the
range, and errors on building when the range is exceeded.

Sonia Appasamy 1217f655c0 cmd/dist: update logs for synology builds
Update logs for synology builds to more clearly callout which variant
is being built. The two existing variants are:

1. Sideloaded (can be manual installed on a device by anyone)
2. Package center distribution (by the tailscale team)

Will Norris 9a3bc9049c client/web,cmd/tailscale: add prefix flag for web command
We already had a path on the web client server struct, but hadn't
plumbed it through to the CLI. Add that now and use it for Synology and
QNAP instead of hard-coding the path. (Adding flag for QNAP is
tailscale/tailscale-qpkg#112) This will allow supporting other
environments (like unraid) without additional changes to the client/web
package.

Also fix a small bug in unraid handling to only include the csrf token
on POST requests.

Will Norris d74c771fda client/web: always use new web client; remove old client
This uses the new react-based web client for all builds, not just with
the --dev flag.

If the web client assets have not been built, the client will serve a
message that Tailscale was built without the web client, and link to
build instructions. Because we will include the web client in all of our
builds, this should only be seen by developers or users building from
source. (And eventually this will be replaced by attempting to download
needed assets as runtime.)

We do now checkin the build/index.html file, which serves the error
message when assets are unavailable.  This will also eventually be used
to trigger in CI when new assets should be built and uploaded to a
well-known location.

cmd/dist,release/dist: add distsign signing hooks (#9070)
Add `dist.Signer` hook which can arbitrarily sign linux/synology
artifacts. Plumb it through in `cmd/dist` and remove existing tarball
signing key. Distsign signing will happen on a remote machine, not using
a local key.

Will Norris 3722b05465 release/dist: run yarn build before building CLI
This builds the assets for the new web client as part of our release
process. The path to the web client source is specified by the
-web-client-root flag.  This allows corp builds to first vendor the
tailscale.com module, and then build the web client assets in the vendor
directory.

The default value for the -web-client-root flag is empty, so no assets
are built by default.

This is an update of the previously reverted 0fb95ec

This caused breakages on the build server:

synology/dsm7/x86_64: chdir /home/ubuntu/builds/2023-08-21T21-47-38Z-unstable-main-tagged-devices/0/client/web: no such file or directory

synology/dsm7/armv8: chdir /home/ubuntu/builds/2023-08-21T21-47-38Z-unstable-main-tagged-devices/0/client/web: no such file or directory
...

Reverting while I investigate.
