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.

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.

This is similar to the golang.org/x/tools/internal/fastwalk I'd
previously written but not recursive and using mem.RO.
The metrics package already had some Linux-specific directory reading
code in it. Move that out to a new general package that can be reused
by portlist too, which helps its scanning of all /proc files:

Add an osImpl interface that can be stateful and thus more efficient
between calls. It will later be implemented by all OSes but for now
this change only adds a Linux implementation.
Remove Port.inode. It was only used by Linux and moves into its osImpl.
Don't reopen /proc/net/* files on each run. Turns out you can just
keep then open and seek to the beginning and reread and the contents
are fresh.

And add a little string intern pool in front of the []byte to string

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:

Notably, it no longer allocates proportional to the number of open
sockets on the machine. Any alloc reduction numbers are a little
contrived with such a reduction but e.g. on a machine with 50,000
connections open:
