a6ab7efa4f ipn/ipnlocal, cmd/tailscale/cli: auto-renew TLS certs and warn while pending
The Tailscale daemon only refreshed TLS certs as a side effect of inbound
TLS handshakes or "tailscale cert" CLI calls. A node that doesn't see
inbound traffic during the renewal window silently rolls past expiry.

Add a once-per-hour background loop on LocalBackend that enumerates Serve
and Funnel HTTPS hostnames (filtered against the netmap's CertDomains so
we don't poke ACME for other nodes' service hostnames) and calls the
existing GetCertPEM path. The renewal decision (ARI window, then 2/3
expiry fallback) is unchanged; the loop just guarantees it runs.

For visibility during initial issuance or restart with a long-expired
cached cert, add a "tls-cert-pending" health Warnable that's set while
ACME is in flight and no usable cached cert exists. Async renewal of a
still-valid cert intentionally doesn't fire it. And then make the CLI "cert"
subcommand print out a warning if it's blocking due to a cert fetch
in flight, using that health info.

28801674a6 net/routecheck: introduce new package for checking peer reachability (#19639)
The routecheck package parallels the netcheck package, where the
former checks routes and routers while the latter checks networks.
Like netcheck, it compiles reports for other systems to consume.

Historically, the client has never known whether a peer is actually
reachable. Most of the time this doesn’t matter, since the client will
want to establish a WireGuard tunnel to any given destination.
However, if the client needs to choose between two or more nodes,
then it should try to choose a node that it can reach.

Suggested exit nodes are one such example, where the client filters
out any nodes that aren’t connected to the control plane. Sometimes an
exit node will get disconnected from the control plane: when the
network between the two is unreliable or when the exit node is too
busy to keep its control connection alive. In these cases, Control
disables the Node.Online flag for the exit node and broadcasts this
across the tailnet. Arguably, the client should never have relied on
this flag, since it only makes sense in the admin console.

This patch implements an initial routecheck client that can probe
every node that your client knows about. You should not ping scan your
visible tailnet, this method is for debugging only.

This patch also introduces a new OnNetMapToggle hook, which fires when
the netmap transitions from nil to non-nil, or vice versa. This
happens either when the client receives its first MapResponse after
connecting to the control plane, or when it clears the netmap while it
is disconnecting. Routecheck uses this to wait for a valid netmap
so it knows which peers to probe.

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'

475b520aa2 tsconst, util/linuxfw, wgengine/router: move Linux fw consts to tsconst
Now cmd/derper doesn't depend on iptables, nftables, and netlink code :)

But this is really just a cleanup step I noticed on the way to making
tsnet applications able to not link all the OS router code which they
don't use.

71029cea2d all: update copyright and license headers
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.
