ipn/local: add netmap mutations to the ipn bus
updates tailscale/tailscale#1909
This adds a new new NotifyWatchOpt that allows watchers to
receive PeerChange events (derived from node mutations)
on the IPN bus in lieu of a complete netmap. We'll continue
to send the full netmap for any map response that includes it,
but for mutations, sending PeerChange events gives the client
the option to manage it's own models more selectively and cuts
way down on json serialization overhead.
On chatty tailnets, this will vastly reduce the amount of
chatter on the bus.
This change should be backwards compatible, it is
purely additive. Clients that subscribe to NotifyNetmap will
get the full netmap for every delta. New clients can
omit that and instead opt into NotifyPeerChanges.

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'

The suggested exit node is currently only calculated during a localAPI request.
For older UIs, this wasn't a bad choice - we could just fetch it on-demand when a menu
presented itself. For newer incarnations however, this is an always-visible field
that needs to react to changes in the suggested exit node's value.
This change recalculates the suggested exit node ID on netmap updates and
broadcasts it on the IPN bus. The localAPI version of this remains intact for the
time being.

I merged 5cae7c51bf (removing Notify.BackendLogID) and 93db503565
(adding another reference to Notify.BackendLogID) that didn't have merge
conflicts, but didn't compile together.
This removes the new reference, fixing the build.

Limit spamming GUIs with boring updates to once in 3 seconds, unless
the notification is relatively interesting and the GUI should update
immediately.
This is basically @barnstar's #14119 but with the logic moved to be
per-watch-session (since the bit is per session), rather than
globally. And this distinguishes notable Notify messages (such as
state changes) and makes them send immediately.
