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'

This PR parameterizes receiving loopback updates from the portlist package.
Callers can now include services bound to localhost if they want.
Note that this option is off by default still.
Fixes#8171

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.

We change our invocations of GetExtendedTcpTable to request additional
information about the "module" responsible for the port. In addition to pid,
this output also includes sufficient metadata to enable Windows to resolve
process names and disambiguate svchost processes.
We store the OS-specific output in an OSMetadata field in netstat.Entry, which
portlist may then use as necessary to actually resolve the process/module name.

Previously:
* 036f70b7b4 for linux
* 35bee36549 for windows
This does macOS.
And removes all the compat code for the old style. (e.g. iOS, js are
no longer mentioned; all platforms without implementations just
default to not doing anything)
One possible regression is that platforms without explicit
implementations previously tried to do the "netstat -na" style to get
open ports (but not process names). Maybe that worked on FreeBSD and
OpenBSD previously, but nobody ever really tested it. And it was kinda
useless without associated process names. So better off removing those
for now until they get a good implementation.

Turns out using win32 instead of shelling out to child processes is a
bit faster:

In prep for reducing garbage, being able to reuse memory. So far this
doesn't actually reuse much. This is just changing signatures around.
But some improvement in any case:
bradfitz@tsdev:~/src/tailscale.com$ ~/go/bin/benchstat before after
name old time/op new time/op delta
GetList-8 11.8ms ± 9% 9.9ms ± 3% -15.98% (p=0.000 n=10+10)

name old allocs/op new allocs/op delta
GetList-8 3.05k ± 1% 2.93k ± 0% -3.83% (p=0.000 n=8+9)
More later, once parsers can reuse strings from previous parses.

I noticed portlist when looking at some profiles and hadn't looked at
the code much before. This is a first pass over it. It allocates a
fair bit. More love remains, but this does a bit:
name old time/op new time/op delta
GetList-8 9.92ms ± 8% 9.64ms ±12% ~ (p=0.247 n=10+10)
name old alloc/op new alloc/op delta
GetList-8 931kB ± 0% 869kB ± 0% -6.70% (p=0.000 n=10+10)
