Alex Chan 5b62f98894 ipn, cmd/tailscale/cli: allow setting FQDN sans dot as an exit node
In #10057, @seigel pointed out an inconsistency in the help text for
`exit-node list` and `set --exit-node`:

1.  Use `tailscale exit-node list`, which has a column titled "hostname"
    and tells you that you can use a hostname with `set --exit-node`:

    ```console
    $ tailscale exit-node list
     IP                  HOSTNAME                               COUNTRY            CITY                   STATUS
     100.98.193.6        linode-vps.tailfa84dd.ts.net           -                  -                      -
    […]
     100.93.242.75       ua-iev-wg-001.mullvad.ts.net           Ukraine            Kyiv                   -

    # To view the complete list of exit nodes for a country, use `tailscale exit-node list --filter=` followed by the country name.
    # To use an exit node, use `tailscale set --exit-node=` followed by the hostname or IP.
    # To have Tailscale suggest an exit node, use `tailscale exit-node suggest`.
    ```

    (This is the same format hostnames are presented in the admin
    console.)

2.  Try copy/pasting a hostname into `set --exit-node`:

    ```console
    $ tailscale set --exit-node=linode-vps.tailfa84dd.ts.net
    invalid value "linode-vps.tailfa84dd.ts.net" for --exit-node; must be IP or unique node name
    ```

3.  Note that the command allows some hostnames, if they're from nodes
    in a different tailnet:

    ```console
    $ tailscale set --exit-node= ua-iev-wg-001.mullvad.ts.net
    $ echo $?
    0
    ```

This patch addresses the inconsistency in two ways:

1.  Allow using `tailscale set --exit-node=` with an FQDN that's missing
    the trailing dot, matching the formatting used in `exit-node list`
    and the admin console.

2.  Make the description of valid exit nodes consistent across commands
    ("hostname or IP").

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'

Simon Law bad17a1bfa cmd/tailscale: format empty cities and countries as hyphens (#16495)
When running `tailscale exit-node list`, an empty city or country name
should be displayed as a hyphen "-". However, this only happened when
there was no location at all. If a node provides a Hostinfo.Location,
then the list would display exactly what was provided.

This patch changes the listing so that empty cities and countries will
either render the provided name or "-".

Importing the ~deprecated golang.org/x/exp/maps as "xmaps" to not
shadow the std "maps" was getting ugly.

And using slices.Collect on an iterator is verbose & allocates more.

So copy (x)maps.Keys+Values into our slicesx package instead.

Charlotte Brandhorst-Satzkorn 42f01afe26 cmd/tailscale/cli: exit node filter should display all exit node options (#12699)
This change expands the `exit-node list -filter` command to display all
location based exit nodes for the filtered country. This allows users
to switch to alternative servers when our recommended exit node is not
working as intended.

This change also makes the country filter matching case insensitive,
e.g. both USA and usa will work.

Brad Fitzpatrick a5e1f7d703 ipn/{ipnlocal,localapi}: add API to toggle use of exit node
This is primarily for GUIs, so they don't need to remember the most
recently used exit node themselves.

This adds some CLI commands, but they're disabled and behind the WIP
envknob, as we need to consider naming (on/off is ambiguous with
running an exit node, etc) as well as automatic exit node selection in
the future. For now the CLI commands are effectively developer debug
things to test the LocalAPI.

Charlotte Brandhorst-Satzkorn 35bdbeda9f cli: introduce exit-node subcommand to list and filter exit nodes
This change introduces a new subcommand, `exit-node`, along with a
subsubcommand of `list` and a `--filter` flag.

Exit nodes without location data will continue to be displayed when
`status` is used. Exit nodes with location data will only be displayed
behind `exit-node list`, and in status if they are the active exit node.

The `filter` flag can be used to filter exit nodes with location data by
country.

Exit nodes with Location.Priority data will have only the highest
priority option for each country and city listed. For countries with
multiple cities, a <Country> <Any> option will be displayed, indicating
the highest priority node within that country.
