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'

I got sidetracked apparently and never finished writing this Clone
code in 316afe7d02babc (#17448). (It really should use views instead.)
And then I missed one of the users of "routerChanged" that was broken up
into "routerChanged" vs "dnsChanged".
This broke integration tests elsewhere.

Saves 45 KB from the min build, no longer pulling in deephash or
util/hashx, both with unsafe code.
It can actually be more efficient to not use deephash, as you don't
have to walk all bytes of all fields recursively to answer that two
things are not equal. Instead, you can just return false at the first
difference you see. And then with views (as we use ~everywhere
nowadays), the cloning the old value isn't expensive, as it's just a
pointer under the hood.

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.
Updates #6865

NextDNS is unique in that users create accounts and then get
user-specific DNS IPs & DoH URLs.
For DoH, the customer ID is in the URL path.
For IPv6, the IP address includes the customer ID in the lower bits.
For IPv4, there's a fragile "IP linking" mechanism to associate your
public IPv4 with an assigned NextDNS IPv4 and that tuple maps to your
customer ID.
We don't use the IP linking mechanism.
Instead, NextDNS is DoH-only. Which means using NextDNS necessarily
shunts all DNS traffic through 100.100.100.100 (programming the OS to
use 100.100.100.100 as the global resolver) because operating systems
can't usually do DoH themselves.
Once it's in Tailscale's DoH client, we then connect out to the known
NextDNS IPv4/IPv6 anycast addresses.
If the control plane sends the client a NextDNS IPv6 address, we then
map it to the corresponding NextDNS DoH with the same client ID, and
we dial that DoH server using the combination of v4/v6 anycast IPs.

If ExtraRecords (Hosts) are specified without a corresponding split
DNS route and global DNS is specified, then program the host OS DNS to
use 100.100.100.100 so it can blend in those ExtraRecords.

Two changes in one:
* make DoH upgrades an explicitly scheduled send earlier, when we come
up with the resolvers-and-delay send plan. Previously we were
getting e.g. four Google DNS IPs and then spreading them out in
time (for back when we only did UDP) but then later we added DoH
upgrading at the UDP packet layer, which resulted in sometimes
multiple DoH queries to the same provider running (each doing happy
eyeballs dialing to 4x IPs themselves) for each of the 4 source IPs.
Instead, take those 4 Google/Cloudflare IPs and schedule 5 things:
first the DoH query (which can use all 4 IPs), and then each of the
4 IPs as UDP later.
* clean up the dnstype.Resolver.Addr confusion; half the code was
using it as an IP string (as documented) as half was using it as
an IP:port (from some prior type we used), primarily for tests.
Instead, document it was being primarily an IP string but also
accepting an IP:port for tests, then add an accessor method on it
to get the IPPort and use that consistently everywhere.

We currently plumb full URLs for DNS resolvers from the control server
down to the client. But when we pass the values into the net/dns
package, we throw away any URL that isn't a bare IP. This commit
continues the plumbing, and gets the URL all the way to the built in
forwarder. (It stops before plumbing URLs into the OS configurations
that can handle them.)

It was a huge chunk of the overall log output and made debugging
difficult. Omit and summarize the spammy *.arpa parts instead.
Fixestailscale/corp#2066 (to which nobody had opinions, so)
This leads to a cleaner separation of intent vs. implementation
(Routes is now the only place specifying who handles DNS requests),
and allows for cleaner expression of a configuration that creates
MagicDNS records without serving them to the OS.

With this change, all OSes can sort-of do split DNS, except that the
default upstream is hardcoded to 8.8.8.8 pending further plumbing.
Additionally, Windows 8-10 can do split DNS fully correctly, without
the 8.8.8.8 hack.

It's currently unused, and no longer makes sense with the upcoming
