Mike O'Driscoll bb59942df2 types/key: use AvailableBuffer for WriteRawWithoutAllocating (#19102)
Use bufio.Writer.AvailableBuffer to write the 32-byte public key
directly into bufio's internal buffer as a single append+Write,
avoiding 32 separate WriteByte calls. Fall back to the existing
byte-at-a-time path when the buffer has insufficient space.

```
name                                old ns/op  new ns/op  speedup
NodeWriteRawWithoutAllocating-8     121        12.5       ~9.7x
(0 allocs/op in both)
```

Add BenchmarkNodeWriteRawWithoutAllocating and expand
TestNodeWriteRawWithoutAllocating to cover both fast (AvailableBuffer)
and slow (WriteByte fallback) paths with correctness and allocation
checks.

Mike O'Driscoll 1403920367 derp,types,util: use bufio Peek+Discard for allocation-free fast reads (#19067)
Replace byte-at-a-time ReadByte loops with Peek+Discard in the DERP
read path. Peek returns a slice into bufio's internal buffer without
allocating, and Discard advances the read pointer without copying.

Introduce util/bufiox with a BufferedReader interface and ReadFull
helper that uses Peek+copy+Discard as an allocation-free alternative
to io.ReadFull.

  - derp.ReadFrameHeader: replace 5× ReadByte with Peek(5)+Discard(5),
    reading the frame type and length directly from the peeked slice.
    Remove now-unused readUint32 helper.

  - key.NodePublic.ReadRawWithoutAllocating: replace 32× ReadByte with
    bufiox.ReadFull. Addresses the "Dear future" comment about switching
    away from byte-at-a-time reads once a non-escaping alternative exists.

Brad Fitzpatrick 525f7a1e47 types/key: add NodePrivate.Raw32 and DiscoPrivateFromRaw32
Raw byte accessors for key types, mirroring existing patterns
(NodePublic.Raw32 and DiscoPublicFromRaw32 already exist).

NodePrivate.Raw32 returns the raw 32 bytes of a node private key.
DiscoPrivateFromRaw32 parses a 32-byte raw value as a DiscoPrivate.

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'

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.

Nodes that are expired, taking into account the time delta calculated
from MapResponse.ControlTime have the newly-added Expired boolean set.
For additional defense-in-depth, also replicate what control does and
clear the Endpoints and DERP fields, and additionally set the node key
to a bogus value.
