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 Tracker was using direct callbacks to ipnlocal. This PR moves those
to be triggered via the eventbus.
Additionally, the eventbus is now closed on exit from tailscaled
explicitly, and health is now a SubSystem in tsd.

If you had HTTPS_PROXY=https://some-valid-cert.example.com running a
CONNECT proxy, we should've been able to do a TLS CONNECT request to
e.g. controlplane.tailscale.com:443 through that, and I'm pretty sure
it used to work, but refactorings and lack of integration tests made
it regress.
It probably regressed when we added the baked-in LetsEncrypt root cert
validation fallback code, which was testing against the wrong hostname
(the ultimate one, not the one which we were being asked to validate)

We previously baked in the LetsEncrypt x509 root CA for our tlsdial
package.
This moves that out into a new "bakedroots" package and is now also
shared by ipn/ipnlocal's cert validation code (validCertPEM) that
decides whether it's time to fetch a new cert.
Otherwise, a machine without LetsEncrypt roots locally in its system
roots is unable to use tailscale cert/serve and fetch certs.

This adds a health.Tracker to tsd.System, accessible via
a new tsd.System.HealthTracker method.
In the future, that new method will return a tsd.System-specific
HealthTracker, so multiple tsnet.Servers in the same process are
isolated. For now, though, it just always returns the temporary
health.Global value. That permits incremental plumbing over a number
of changes. When the second to last health.Global reference is gone,
then the tsd.System.HealthTracker implementation can return a private
Tracker.
The primary plumbing this does is adding it to LocalBackend and its
dozen and change health calls. A few misc other callers are also
plumbed. Subsequent changes will flesh out other parts of the tree
(magicsock, controlclient, etc).

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.

Go now includes the GOROOT bin directory in $PATH while running tests
and generate, so it is no longer necessary to construct a path using
runtime.GOROOT().
Fixes#6689

We still try the host's x509 roots first, but if that fails (like if
the host is old), we fall back to using LetsEncrypt's root and
retrying with that.
tlsdial was used in the three main places: logs, control, DERP. But it
was missing in dnsfallback. So added it there too, so we can run fine
now on a machine with no DNS config and no root CAs configured.
Also, move SSLKEYLOGFILE support out of DERP. tlsdial is the logical place
for that support.
