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'

metrics.LabelMap grows slightly more heavy, needing a lock to ensure
proper ordering for newly initialized ShardedInt values. An Add method
enables callers to use .Add for both expvar.Int and syncs.ShardedInt
values, but retains the original behavior of defaulting to initializing
expvar.Int values.

This breaks its ability to be used as an expvar and is blocking a trunkd

in a future change.

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:

The //go:build syntax was introduced in Go 1.17:
https://go.dev/doc/go1.17#build-lines
gofmt has kept the +build and go:build lines in sync since
then, but enough time has passed. Time to remove them.
Done with:
perl -i -npe 's,^// \+build.*\n,,' $(git grep -l -F '+build')

There are a few remaining uses of testing.AllocsPerRun:
Two in which we only log the number of allocations,
and one in which dynamically calculate the allocations
target based on a different AllocsPerRun run.
This also allows us to tighten the "no allocs"
test in wgengine/filter.

This lets us publish sets of vars that are breakdowns along one
