Brad Fitzpatrick 40cd54daf7 cmd/tailscale: remove dep on clientupdate package if feature is omitted
We already had a featuretag for clientupdate, but the CLI wasn't using
it, making the "minbox" build (minimal combined tailscaled + CLI
build) larger than necessary.

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'

James Tucker b9cdef18c0 util/prompt: add a default and take default in non-interactive cases
The Tailscale CLI is the primary configuration interface and as such it
is used in scripts, container setups, and many other places that do not
have a terminal available and should not be made to respond to prompts.

The default is set to false where the "risky" API is being used by the
CLI and true otherwise, this means that the `--yes` flags are only
required under interactive runs and scripts do not need to be concerned
with prompts or extra flags.

Andrew Lytvynov d8493d4bd5 clientupdate: add explicit Track to Arguments (#10548)
Instead of overloading the Version field, add an explicit Track field.

This fixes a bug where passing a track name in `args.Version` would keep
the track name in `updater.Version` and pass it down the code path to
commands like `apt-get install`. Now, `updater.Version` should always be
a version (or empty string).
