A customer wants to allow their employees to restart tailscaled at will, when access rights and MDM policy allow it,
as a way to fully reset client state and re-create the tunnel in case of connectivity issues.
On Windows, the main tailscaled process runs as a child of a service process. The service restarts the child
when it exits (or crashes) until the service itself is stopped. Regular (non-admin) users can't stop the service,
and allowing them to do so isn't ideal, especially in managed or multi-user environments.
In this PR, we add a LocalAPI endpoint that instructs ipnserver.Server, and by extension the tailscaled process,
to shut down. The service then restarts the child tailscaled. Shutting down tailscaled requires LocalAPI write access
and an enabled policy setting.
