If an NRPT rule lists more than one server, those servers should be separated by a semicolon (";"),
rather than a semicolon followed by a space ("; "). Otherwise, Windows fails to parse the created
registry value, and DNS resolution may fail.

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 adds a package with GP-related functions and types to be used in the future PRs.
It also updates nrptRuleDatabase to use the new package instead of its own gpNotificationWatcher implementation.
Updates #12687
Signed-off-by: Nick Khyl <nickk@tailscale.com>
We were being too aggressive when deciding whether to write our NRPT rules
to the local registry key or the group policy registry key.
After once again reviewing the document which calls itself a spec
(see issue), it is clear that the presence of the DnsPolicyConfig subkey
is the important part, not the presence of values set in the DNSClient
subkey. Furthermore, a footnote indicates that the presence of
DnsPolicyConfig in the GPO key will always override its counterpart in
the local key. The implication of this is important: we may unconditionally
write our NRPT rules to the local key. We copy our rules to the policy
key only when it contains NRPT rules belonging to somebody other than us.

I didn't clean up the more idiomatic map[T]bool with true values, at
least yet. I just converted the relatively awkward struct{}-valued
maps.

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.
Updates #6865

As discussed in previous PRs, we can register for notifications when group
policies are updated and act accordingly.
This patch changes nrptRuleDatabase to receive notifications that group policy
has changed and automatically move our NRPT rules between the local and
group policy subkeys as needed.

When there are group policy entries for the NRPT that do not belong to Tailscale,
we recognize that we need to add ourselves to group policy and use that registry
key instead of the local one. We also refresh the group policy settings as
necessary to ensure that our changes take effect immediately.
