Will Norris 3ec5be3f51 all: remove AUTHORS file and references to it
This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in
the history of Tailscale's open source releases.

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'

// ExtensionHost is a bridge between the [LocalBackend] and the registered [ipnext.Extension]s.
// It implements [ipnext.Host] and is safe for concurrent use.
//
// A nil pointer to [ExtensionHost] is a valid, no-op extension host which is primarily used in tests
// that instantiate [LocalBackend] directly without using [NewExtensionHost].
//
// The [LocalBackend] is not required to hold its mutex when calling the host's methods,
// but it typically does so either to prevent changes to its state (for example, the current profile)
// while callbacks are executing, or because it calls the host's methods as part of a larger operation
// that requires the mutex to be held.
//
// Extensions might invoke the host's methods either from callbacks triggered by the [LocalBackend],
// or in a response to external events. Some methods can be called by both the extensions and the backend.
//
// As a general rule, the host cannot assume anything about the current state of the [LocalBackend]'s
// internal mutex on entry to its methods, and therefore cannot safely call [LocalBackend] methods directly.
//
// The following are typical and supported patterns:
// - LocalBackend notifies the host about an event, such as a change in the current profile.
// The host invokes callbacks registered by Extensions, forwarding the event arguments to them.
// If necessary, the host can also update its own state for future use.
// - LocalBackend requests information from the host, such as the effective [ipnauth.AuditLogFunc]
// or the [ipn.LoginProfile] to use when no GUI/CLI client is connected. Typically, [LocalBackend]
// provides the required context to the host, and the host returns the result to [LocalBackend]
// after forwarding the request to the extensions.
// - Extension invokes the host's method to perform an action, such as switching to the "best" profile
// in response to a change in the device's state. Since the host does not know whether the [LocalBackend]'s
// internal mutex is held, it cannot invoke any methods on the [LocalBackend] directly and must instead
// do so asynchronously, such as by using [ExtensionHost.enqueueBackendOperation].
// - Extension requests information from the host, such as the effective [ipnauth.AuditLogFunc]
// or the current [ipn.LoginProfile]. Since the host cannot invoke any methods on the [LocalBackend] directly,
// it should maintain its own view of the current state, updating it when the [LocalBackend] notifies it
// about a change or event.
//
// To safeguard against adopting incorrect or risky patterns, the host does not store [LocalBackend] in its fields
// and instead provides [ExtensionHost.enqueueBackendOperation]. Additionally, to make it easier to test extensions
// and to further reduce the risk of accessing unexported methods or fields of [LocalBackend], the host interacts
// with it via the [Backend] interface.
