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 commit contains the implementation of multi-tailnet support within the Kubernetes Operator
Each of our custom resources now expose the `spec.tailnet` field. This field is a string that must match the name of an existing `Tailnet` resource. A `Tailnet` resource looks like this:
```yaml
apiVersion: tailscale.com/v1alpha1
kind: Tailnet
metadata:
name: example # This is the name that must be referenced by other resources
spec:
credentials:
secretName: example-oauth
```
Each `Tailnet` references a `Secret` resource that contains a set of oauth credentials. This secret must be created in the same namespace as the operator:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: example-oauth # This is the name that's referenced by the Tailnet resource.
namespace: tailscale
stringData:
client_id: "client-id"
client_secret: "client-secret"
```
When created, the operator performs a basic check that the oauth client has access to all required scopes. This is done using read actions on devices, keys & services. While this doesn't capture a missing "write" permission, it catches completely missing permissions. Once this check passes, the `Tailnet` moves into a ready state and can be referenced. Attempting to use a `Tailnet` in a non-ready state will stall the deployment of `Connector`s, `ProxyGroup`s and `Recorder`s until the `Tailnet` becomes ready.
The `spec.tailnet` field informs the operator that a `Connector`, `ProxyGroup`, or `Recorder` must be given an auth key generated using the specified oauth client. For backwards compatibility, the set of credentials the operator is configured with are considered the default. That is, where `spec.tailnet` is not set, the resource will be deployed in the same tailnet as the operator.
Updates https://github.com/tailscale/corp/issues/34561
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.

Previously, the operator checked the ProxyGroup status fields for
information on how many of the proxies had successfully authed. Use
their state Secrets instead as a more reliable source of truth.
containerboot has written device_fqdn and device_ips keys to the
state Secret since inception, and pod_uid since 1.78.0, so there's
no need to use the API for that data. Read it from the state Secret
for consistency. However, to ensure we don't read data from a
previous run of containerboot, make sure we reset containerboot's
state keys on startup.
One other knock-on effect of that is ProxyGroups can briefly be
marked not Ready while a Pod is restarting. Introduce a new
ProxyGroupAvailable condition to more accurately reflect
when downstream controllers can implement flows that rely on a
ProxyGroup having at least 1 proxy Pod running.

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:

Every so often, the ProxyGroup and other controllers lose an optimistic locking race
with other controllers that update the objects they create. Stop treating
this as an error event, and instead just log an info level log line for it.

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.

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
