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'

to minimise diff. This lays the ground work for having both the operator

cmd/k8s-operator,ssh/tailssh,tsnet: optionally record kubectl exec sessions
The Kubernetes operator's API server proxy, when it receives a request
for 'kubectl exec' session now reads 'RecorderAddrs', 'EnforceRecorder'
fields from tailcfg.KubernetesCapRule.
If 'RecorderAddrs' is set to one or more addresses (of a tsrecorder instance(s)),
it attempts to connect to those and sends the session contents
to the recorder before forwarding the request to the kube API
server. If connection cannot be established or fails midway,
it is only allowed if 'EnforceRecorder' is not true (fail open).

This PR is in prep of adding logic to control to be able to parse
tailscale.com/cap/kubernetes grants in control:
- moves the type definition of PeerCapabilityKubernetes cap to a location
shared with control.
- update the Kubernetes cap rule definition with fields for granting
kubectl exec session recording capabilities.
- adds a convenience function to produce tailcfg.RawMessage from an
arbitrary cap rule and a test for it.
An example grant defined via ACLs:
"grants": [{
"src": ["tag:eng"],
"dst": ["tag:k8s-operator"],
"app": {
"tailscale.com/cap/kubernetes": [{
"recorder": ["tag:my-recorder"]
“enforceRecorder”: true
}],
},
}
]
This grant enforces `kubectl exec` sessions from tailnet clients,
matching `tag:eng` via API server proxy matching `tag:k8s-operator`
to be recorded and recording to be sent to a tsrecorder instance,
matching `tag:my-recorder`.
The type needs to be shared with control because we want
control to parse this cap and resolve tags to peer IPs.

This is done in preparation for adding kubectl
session recording rules to this capability grant that will need to
be unmarshalled by control, so will also need to be
in a shared location.

Also perform minor cleanups on the ctxkey package itself.
Provide guidance on when to use ctxkey.Key[T] over ctxkey.New.
Also, allow for interface kinds because the value wrapping trick
also happens to fix edge cases with interfaces in Go.

This adds a new RawMessage type backed by string instead of the
json.RawMessage which is backed by []byte. The byte slice makes
the generated views be a lot more defensive than the need to be
which we can get around by using a string instead.

Previously we would use the Impersonate-Group header to pass through
tags to the k8s api server. However, we would do nothing for non-tagged
nodes. Now that we have a way to specify these via peerCaps respect those
and send down groups for non-tagged nodes as well.
For tagged nodes, it defaults to sending down the tags as groups to retain
legacy behavior if there are no caps set. Otherwise, the tags are omitted.
