James Tucker 0d66cde14f tstest/membudget: add live-heap budget regression tests
Static size checks (iossize) catch binary dirty-page growth but nothing
covered runtime heap cost, which is what actually consumes the iOS
Network Extension's 50 MiB jetsam budget. Bring up a tsnet backend
(with the full condregister feature set, matching shipping clients)
against an in-process testcontrol server and assert live post-GC heap
budgets for (a) backend startup with zero peers and (b) marginal cost
per netmap peer.

The startup test measures 1.3 MiB today and fails loudly on the
conn25 flow-table pre-allocation regression (17 MiB) that jetsam-killed
the iOS extension on large tailnets.

Budgets are deliberately generous (6-12x current measurements) to stay
flake-free while still catching the multi-MiB regressions that matter
for mobile.

A new debugknob enables us to constrain the GSO/GRO batch size to 1 for
these tests so as to avoid the memory allocation associated with those
buffers, which are a known issue with their own work stream.

Jordan Whited 607d01cdae net/batching: clarify & simplify single packet read limitations
ReadFromUDPAddrPort worked if UDP GRO was unsupported, but we don't
actually want attempted usage, nor does any exist today. Future work
on tailscale/corp#37679 would have required more complexity in this
method, vs clarifying the API intents.

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'

Jordan Whited d4b7200129 net/udprelay: use batching.Conn (#16866)
This significantly improves throughput of a peer relay server on Linux.

Server.packetReadLoop no longer passes sockets down the stack. Instead,
packet handling methods return a netip.AddrPort and []byte, which
packetReadLoop gathers together for eventual batched writes on the
appropriate socket(s).
