There’s (*LocalBackend).ResetForClientDisconnect, and there’s also (*LocalBackend).resetForProfileChangeLockedOnEntry.
Both methods essentially did the same thing but in slightly different ways. For example, resetForProfileChangeLockedOnEntry didn’t reset the control client until (*LocalBackend).Start() was called at the very end and didn’t reset the keyExpired flag, while ResetForClientDisconnect didn’t reinitialize TKA.
Since SetCurrentUser can be called with a nil argument to reset the currently connected user and internally calls resetForProfileChangeLockedOnEntry, we can remove ResetForClientDisconnect and let SetCurrentUser and resetForProfileChangeLockedOnEntry handle it.

The darwin appstore and standalone clients now support XPC and the keychain for passing user credentials securely between the gui process and an NEVPNExtension hosted tailscaled. Clients that can communicate directly with the network extension, via XPC or the keychain, are now expected to call SetCredentials and supply credentials explicitly, fixing issues with the cli breaking if the current user cannot read the contents of /Library/Tailscale due to group membership restrictions. This matches how those clients source and supply credentials to the localAPI http client.
Non-platform-specific code that has traditionally been in the client is moved to safesocket.
/Libraray/Tailscaled/sameuserproof has its permissions changed to that it's readably only by users in the admin group. This restricts standalone CLI access for and direct use of localAPI to admins.

In this PR, we update LocalBackend to set WantRunning=true when applying policy settings
to the current profile's prefs, if the "always-on" mode is enabled.
We also implement a new (*LocalBackend).EditPrefsAs() method, which is like EditPrefs
but accepts an actor (e.g., a LocalAPI client's identity) that initiated the change.
If WantRunning is being set to false, the new EditPrefsAs method checks whether the actor
has ipnauth.Disconnect access to the profile and propagates an error if they do not.
Finally, we update (*ipnserver.actor).CheckProfileAccess to allow a disconnect
only if the "always-on" mode is not enabled by the AlwaysOn policy setting.
This is not a comprehensive solution to the "always-on" mode across platforms,
as instead of disconnecting a user could achieve the same effect by creating
a new empty profile, initiating a reauth, or by deleting the profile.
These are the things we should address in future PRs.

I made a last-minute change in #14626 to split a single loop that created 1_000 concurrent
connections into an inner and outer loop that create 100 concurrent connections 10 times.
This introduced a race because the last user's connection may still be active (from the server's
perspective) when a new outer iteration begins. Since every new client gets a unique ClientID,
but we reuse usernames and UIDs, the server may let a user in (as the UID matches, which is fine),
but the test might then fail due to a ClientID mismatch:
server_test.go:232: CurrentUser(Initial): got &{S-1-5-21-1-0-0-1001 User-4 <nil> Client-2 false false};
want &{S-1-5-21-1-0-0-1001 User-4 <nil> Client-114 false false}
In this PR, we update (*testIPNServer).blockWhileInUse to check whether the server is currently busy
and wait until it frees up. We then call blockWhileInUse at the end of each outer iteration so that the server
is always in a known idle state at the beginning of the inner loop. We also check that the current user
is not set when the server is idle.

In this commit, we add a failing test to verify that ipn/ipnserver.Server correctly
sets and unsets the current user when two different clients send requests concurrently
(A sends request, B sends request, A's request completes, B's request completes).
The expectation is that the user who wins the race becomes the current user
from the LocalBackend's perspective, remaining in this state until they disconnect,
after which a different user should be able to connect and use the LocalBackend.
We then fix the second of two bugs in (*Server).addActiveHTTPRequest, where a race
condition causes the LocalBackend's state to be reset after a new client connects,
instead of after the last active request of the previous client completes and the server
becomes idle.

In this commit, we add a failing test to verify that ipn/ipnserver.Server correctly
sets and unsets the current user when two different users connect sequentially
(A connects, A disconnects, B connects, B disconnects).
We then fix the test by updating (*ipn/ipnserver.Server).addActiveHTTPRequest
to avoid calling (*LocalBackend).ResetForClientDisconnect again after a new user
has connected and been set as the current user with (*LocalBackend).SetCurrentUser().
Since ipn/ipnserver.Server does not allow simultaneous connections from different
Windows users and relies on the LocalBackend's current user, and since we already
reset the LocalBackend's state by calling ResetForClientDisconnect when the last
active request completes (indicating the server is idle and can accept connections
from any Windows user), it is unnecessary to track the last connected user on the
ipnserver.Server side or call ResetForClientDisconnect again when the user changes.
Additionally, the second call to ResetForClientDisconnect occurs after the new user
has been set as the current user, resetting the correct state for the new user
instead of the old state of the now-disconnected user, causing issues.

We add the ClientID() method to the ipnauth.Actor interface and updated ipnserver.actor to implement it.
This method returns a unique ID of the connected client if the actor represents one. It helps link a series
of interactions initiated by the client, such as when a notification needs to be sent back to a specific session,
rather than all active sessions, in response to a certain request.
We also add LocalBackend.WatchNotificationsAs and LocalBackend.StartLoginInteractiveAs methods,
which are like WatchNotifications and StartLoginInteractive but accept an additional parameter
specifying an ipnauth.Actor who initiates the operation. We store these actor identities in
watchSession.owner and LocalBackend.authActor, respectively,and implement LocalBackend.sendTo
and related helper methods to enable sending notifications to watchSessions associated with actors
(or, more broadly, identifiable recipients).
We then use the above to change who receives the BrowseToURL notifications:
- For user-initiated, interactive logins, the notification is delivered only to the user who initiated the
process. If the initiating actor represents a specific connected client, the URL notification is sent back
to the same LocalAPI client that called StartLoginInteractive. Otherwise, the notification is sent to all
clients connected as that user.
Currently, we only differentiate between users on Windows, as it is inherently a multi-user OS.
- In all other cases (e.g., node key expiration), we send the notification to all connected users.

Currently, we use PermitRead/PermitWrite/PermitCert permission flags to determine which operations are allowed for a LocalAPI client.
These checks are performed when localapi.Handler handles a request. Additionally, certain operations (e.g., changing the serve config)
requires the connected user to be a local admin. This approach is inherently racey and is subject to TOCTOU issues.
We consider it to be more critical on Windows environments, which are inherently multi-user, and therefore we prevent more than one
OS user from connecting and utilizing the LocalBackend at the same time. However, the same type of issues is also applicable to other
platforms when switching between profiles that have different OperatorUser values in ipn.Prefs.
We'd like to allow more than one Windows user to connect, but limit what they can see and do based on their access rights on the device
(e.g., an local admin or not) and to the currently active LoginProfile (e.g., owner/operator or not), while preventing TOCTOU issues on Windows
and other platforms. Therefore, we'd like to pass an actor from the LocalAPI to the LocalBackend to represent the user performing the operation.
The LocalBackend, or the profileManager down the line, will then check the actor's access rights to perform a given operation on the device
and against the current (and/or the target) profile.
This PR does not change the current permission model in any way, but it introduces the concept of an actor and includes some preparatory
work to pass it around. Temporarily, the ipnauth.Actor interface has methods like IsLocalSystem and IsLocalAdmin, which are only relevant
to the current permission model. It also lacks methods that will actually be used in the new model. We'll be adding these gradually in the next
PRs and removing the deprecated methods and the Permit* flags at the end of the transition.

When establishing connections to the ipnserver, we validate that the
local user is allowed to connect. If Tailscale is currently being
managed by a different user (primarily for multi-user Windows installs),
we don't allow the connection.
With the new device web UI, the inbound connection is coming from
tailscaled itself, which is often running as "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM".
In this case, we still want to allow the connection, even though it
doesn't match the user running the Tailscale GUI. The SYSTEM user has
full access to everything on the system anyway, so this doesn't escalate
privileges.
Eventually, we want the device web UI to run outside of the tailscaled
process, at which point this exception would probably not be needed.

(*Token).IsAdministrator is supposed to return true even when the user is
running with a UAC limited token. The idea is that, for the purposes of
this check, we don't care whether the user is *currently* running with
full Admin rights, we just want to know whether the user can
*potentially* do so.
We accomplish this by querying for the token's "linked token," which
should be the fully-elevated variant, and checking its group memberships.
We also switch ipn/ipnserver/(*Server).connIsLocalAdmin to use the elevation
check to preserve those semantics for tailscale serve; I want the
IsAdministrator check to be used for less sensitive things like toggling
auto-update on and off.

On Windows, the idiomatic way to check access on a named pipe is for
the server to impersonate the client on its current OS thread, perform
access checks using the client's access token, and then revert the OS
thread's access token back to its true self.
The access token is a better representation of the client's rights than just
a username/userid check, as it represents the client's effective rights
at connection time, which might differ from their normal rights.
This patch updates safesocket to do the aforementioned impersonation,
extract the token handle, and then revert the impersonation. We retain
the token handle for the remaining duration of the connection (the token
continues to be valid even after we have reverted back to self).
Since the token is a property of the connection, I changed ipnauth to wrap
the concrete net.Conn to include the token. I then plumbed that change
through ipnlocal, ipnserver, and localapi as necessary.
I also added a PermitLocalAdmin flag to the localapi Handler which I intend
to use for controlling access to a few new localapi endpoints intended
for configuring auto-update.

This is step 1 of de-special-casing of Windows and letting the
LocalAPI HTTP server start serving immediately, even while the rest of
the world (notably the Engine and its TUN device) are being created,
which can take a few to dozens of seconds on Windows.
With this change, the ipnserver.New function changes to not take an
Engine and to return immediately, not returning an error, and let its
Run run immediately. If its ServeHTTP is called when it doesn't yet
have a LocalBackend, it returns an error. A TODO in there shows where
a future handler will serve status before an engine is available.
Future changes will:
* delete a bunch of tailscaled_windows.go code and use this new API
* add the ipnserver.Server ServerHTTP handler to await the engine
being available
* use that handler in the Windows GUI client
