When an exit node has been set and a new default route is added,
create a new rtable in the default rdomain and add the current
default route via its physical interface. When control() is
requesting a connection not go through the exit-node default route,
we can use the SO_RTABLE socket option to force it through the new
rtable we created.

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'

Updates tailscale/corp#18960
iOS uses Apple's NetworkMonitor to track the default interface and
there's no reason we shouldn't also use this on macOS, for the same
reasons noted in the comments for why this change was made on iOS.
This eliminates the need to load and parse the routing table when
querying the defaultRouter() in almost all cases.
A slight modification here (on both platforms) to fallback to the default
BSD logic in the unhappy-path rather than making assumptions that
may not hold. If netmon is eventually parsing AF_ROUTE and able
to give a consistently correct answer for the default interface index,
we can fall back to that and eliminate the Swift dependency.

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)

Updates #8022
Updates #6075
On iOS, we currently rely on delegated interface information to figure out the default route interface. The NetworkExtension framework in iOS seems to set the delegate interface only once, upon the *creation* of the VPN tunnel. If a network transition (e.g. from Wi-Fi to Cellular) happens while the tunnel is connected, it will be ignored and we will still try to set Wi-Fi as the default route because the delegated interface is not getting updated as connectivity transitions.
Here we work around this on the Swift side with a NWPathMonitor instance that observes the interface name of the first currently satisfied network path. Our Swift code will call into `UpdateLastKnownDefaultRouteInterface`, so we can rely on that when it is set.
If for any reason the Swift machinery didn't work and we don't get any updates, here we also have some fallback logic: we try finding a hardcoded Wi-Fi interface called en0. If en0 is down, we fall back to cellular (pdp_ip0) as a last resort. This doesn't handle all edge cases like USB-Ethernet adapters or multiple Ethernet interfaces, but it is good enough to ensure connectivity isn't broken.
I tested this on iPhones and iPads running iOS 17.1 and it appears to work. Switching between different cellular plans on a dual SIM configuration also works (the interface name remains pdp_ip0).
