PR #18860 adds firewall rules in the mangle table to save outbound packet
marks to conntrack and restore them on reply packets before the routing
decision. When reply packets have their marks restored, the kernel uses
the correct routing table (based on the mark) and the packets pass the
rp_filter check.
This makes the risk check and reverse path filtering warnings unnecessary.

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'

This requires making the internals of LocalBackend a bit more generic,
and implementing the `tka.CompactableChonk` interface for `tka.Mem`.

Updates https://github.com/tailscale/corp/issues/33599
We already present a health warning about this, but it is easy to miss
on a server when blackholing traffic makes it unreachable.
In addition to a health warning, present a risk message when exit node
is enabled.
Example:
```
$ tailscale up --exit-node=lizard
The following issues on your machine will likely make usage of exit nodes impossible:
- interface "ens4" has strict reverse-path filtering enabled
- interface "tailscale0" has strict reverse-path filtering enabled
Please set rp_filter=2 instead of rp_filter=1; see https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/3310
To skip this warning, use --accept-risk=linux-strict-rp-filter
$
```

When reverse path filtering is in strict mode on Linux, using an exit
node blocks all network connectivity. This change adds a warning about
this to `tailscale status` and the logs.
Example in `tailscale status`:
```
- not connected to home DERP region 22
- The following issues on your machine will likely make usage of exit nodes impossible: [interface "eth0" has strict reverse-path filtering enabled], please set rp_filter=2 instead of rp_filter=1; see https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/3310
```
Example in the logs:
```
2024/02/21 21:17:07 health("overall"): error: multiple errors:
not in map poll
The following issues on your machine will likely make usage of exit nodes impossible: [interface "eth0" has strict reverse-path filtering enabled], please set rp_filter=2 instead of rp_filter=1; see https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/3310
```

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.

# Health check:

Also, move "tailscale status" health checks to the bottom, where they
won't be lost in large netmaps.
