Simon Law d8ee47d1cf ipn/ipnext, feature/routecheck: subscribe routecheck to the IPN bus ...

This patch adds a new ipnext.NotifyWatcher interface that exposes
ipn.LocalBackend.WatchNotifications so that extensions inside
tailscaled can subscribe to the IPN bus, much like how the GUI
clients subscribe to it through the Local API.

This interface is used by the new feature/routecheck.RouterTracker to
watch for changes in the peer map that affect routers. RouterTracker
uses dead reckoning to incrementally maintain the set of routers. We
do this to avoid looping over the peer map repeatedly. See #17366.

RouterTracker supports two hooks:

- OnNetMapAvailable signals that the initial netmap has been received,
  so that the routecheck.Client can wake up goroutines that are
  waiting for it.

- OnRoutersChange signals that the set of routers has changed, so that
  the routecheck.Client can decide to probe a subset of the routers
  instead of all of them. Currently, this optimization hasn’t been
  implemented yet.
