Brad FitzpatrickandBrad Fitzpatrick c1ae2bb1f8 cmd/tailscale, ipn, feature/remoteconfig: add remote-config support
Add a new Prefs.RemoteConfig bool. When true, a c2n endpoint at
/remoteapi/localapi/* proxies into this node's LocalAPI at
/localapi/* with full read/write permission, giving the tailnet
admin the same API surface a local root/admin user has via the
tailscale CLI. All LocalAPI versions (v0, v1, ...) proxy through.

RemoteConfig is an alternative to Tailscale's default per-feature
double opt-in, in which both the tailnet admin and the local machine
owner must consent to each individual setting change. It is a single
client-side "I trust the tailnet admin" switch that, once on, hands
over full remote management of this node's settings and LocalAPI
without any further local prompt or confirmation.

This is only appropriate when the tailnet admin already owns the
machine (e.g. a corporate fleet device) or the local user has
explicitly delegated full control. It should never be enabled on a
personal/BYOD device with an untrusted tailnet admin. The trust
model is documented on the pref, on the hidden --remote-config CLI
flag, and on the feature/remoteconfig package.

The node advertises its RemoteConfig state to the control plane via
a new Hostinfo.RemoteConfig bool. This is only true when the feature
is both compiled in (buildfeatures.HasRemoteConfig) and its init
actually ran (feature.IsRegistered("remoteconfig")); tsnet builds
have the former but not the latter and correctly report false.

The handler lives in feature/remoteconfig and can be omitted with the
ts_omit_remoteconfig build tag. tsnet's TestDeps guards against
accidentally pulling it in.
