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'

Saves 139 KB.
Also Synology support, which I saw had its own large-ish proxy parsing
support on Linux, but support for proxies without Synology proxy
support is reasonable, so I pulled that out as its own thing.

In prep for most of the package funcs in net/interfaces to become
methods in a long-lived netmon.Monitor that can cache things. (Many
of the funcs are very heavy to call regularly, whereas the long-lived
netmon.Monitor can subscribe to things from the OS and remember
answers to questions it's asked regularly later)

Currently, we get the "likely home router" gateway IP and then iterate
through all IPs for all interfaces trying to match IPs to determine the
source IP. However, on many platforms we know what interface the gateway
is through, and thus we don't need to iterate through all interfaces
checking IPs. Instead, use the IP address of the associated interface.
This better handles the case where we have multiple interfaces on a
system all connected to the same gateway, and where the first interface
that we visit (as iterated by ForeachInterfaceAddress) isn't also the
default internet route.

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.

It was pretty ill-defined before and mostly for logging. But I wanted
to start depending on it, so define what it is and make Windows match
the other operating systems, without losing the log output we had
before. (and add tests for that)

It wasn't using the right metric. Apparently you're supposed to sum the route
metric and interface metric. Whoops.
While here, optimize a few little things too, not that this code
should be too hot.
Fixes#2707 (at least; probably dups but I'm failing to find)

Use golang.zx2c4.com/wireguard/windows/tunnel/winipcfg
instead of github.com/tailscale/winipcfg-go package.
Updates #760
Signed-off-by: Alex Brainman <alex.brainman@gmail.com>
Not used for anything yet (except logging), but populate the current
proxy autoconfig PAC URL in Interfaces.State.
A future change will do things based on it.
Also remove rebinding logic from the windows router. Magicsock will
instead rebind based on link change signals.
