Tom Proctor 95a135ead1 cmd/{containerboot,k8s-operator}: reissue auth keys for broken proxies (#16450)
Adds logic for containerboot to signal that it can't auth, so the
operator can reissue a new auth key. This only applies when running with
a config file and with a kube state store.

If the operator sees reissue_authkey in a state Secret, it will create a
new auth key iff the config has no auth key or its auth key matches the
value of reissue_authkey from the state Secret. This is to ensure we
don't reissue auth keys in a tight loop if the proxy is slow to start or
failing for some other reason. The reissue logic also uses a burstable
rate limiter to ensure there's no way a terminally misconfigured
or buggy operator can automatically generate new auth keys in a tight loop.

Additional implementation details (ChaosInTheCRD):

- Added `ipn.NotifyInitialHealthState` to ipn watcher, to ensure that
  `n.Health` is populated when notify's are returned.
- on auth failure, containerboot:
  - Disconnects from control server
  - Sets reissue_authkey marker in state Secret with the failing key
  - Polls config file for new auth key (10 minute timeout)
  - Restarts after receiving new key to apply it

- modified operator's reissue logic slightly:
  - Deletes old device from tailnet before creating new key
  - Rate limiting: 1 key per 30s with initial burst equal to replica count
  - In-flight tracking (authKeyReissuing map) prevents duplicate API calls
    across reconcile loops

Will Norris 3ec5be3f51 all: remove AUTHORS file and references to it
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'

David Bond 42a5262016 cmd/k8s-operator: add multi replica support for recorders (#17864)
This commit adds the `spec.replicas` field to the `Recorder` custom
resource that allows for a highly available deployment of `tsrecorder`
within a kubernetes cluster.

Many changes were required here as the code hard-coded the assumption
of a single replica. This has required a few loops, similar to what we
do for the `Connector` resource to create auth and state secrets. It
was also required to add a check to remove dangling state and auth
secrets should the recorder be scaled down.

Single letter 'l' variables can eventually become confusing when
they're rendered in some fonts that make them similar to 1 or I.

Tom Proctor d89aa29081 {cmd,}/k8s-operator: support IRSA for Recorder resources (#15913)
Adds Recorder fields to configure the name and annotations of the ServiceAccount
created for and used by its associated StatefulSet. This allows the created Pod
to authenticate with AWS without requiring a Secret with static credentials,
using AWS' IAM Roles for Service Accounts feature, documented here:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/iam-roles-for-service-accounts.html

Fixes #15875

Tom Proctor e48cddfbb3 cmd/{containerboot,k8s-operator},k8s-operator,kube: add ProxyGroup controller (#13684)
Implements the controller for the new ProxyGroup CRD, designed for
running proxies in a high availability configuration. Each proxy gets
its own config and state Secret, and its own tailscale node ID.

We are currently mounting all of the config secrets into the container,
but will stop mounting them and instead read them directly from the kube
API once #13578 is implemented.

Tom Proctor cab2e6ea67 cmd/k8s-operator,k8s-operator: add ProxyGroup CRD (#13591)
The ProxyGroup CRD specifies a set of N pods which will each be a
tailnet device, and will have M different ingress or egress services
mapped onto them. It is the mechanism for specifying how highly
available proxies need to be. This commit only adds the definition, no
controller loop, and so it is not currently functional.

This commit also splits out TailnetDevice and RecorderTailnetDevice
into separate structs because the URL field is specific to recorders,
but we want a more generic struct for use in the ProxyGroup status field.

cmd/k8s-operator,k8s-operator,kube: Add TSRecorder CRD + controller

Deploys tsrecorder images to the operator's cluster. S3 storage is
configured via environment variables from a k8s Secret. Currently
only supports a single tsrecorder replica, but I've tried to take early
steps towards supporting multiple replicas by e.g. having a separate
secret for auth and state storage.

Example CR:

```yaml
apiVersion: tailscale.com/v1alpha1
kind: Recorder
metadata:
  name: rec
spec:
  enableUI: true
```
