ipn/ipnlocal, net/dns*, util/cloudenv: specialize DNS config on Google Cloud This does three things: * If you're on GCP, it adds a *.internal DNS split route to the metadata server, so we never break GCP DNS names. This lets people have some Tailscale nodes on GCP and some not (e.g. laptops at home) without having to add a Tailnet-wide *.internal DNS route. If you already have such a route, though, it won't overwrite it. * If the 100.100.100.100 DNS forwarder has nowhere to forward to, it forwards it to the GCP metadata IP, which forwards to 8.8.8.8. This means there are never errNoUpstreams ("upstream nameservers not set") errors on GCP due to e.g. mangled /etc/resolv.conf (GCP default VMs don't have systemd-resolved, so it's likely a DNS supremacy fight) * makes the DNS fallback mechanism use the GCP metadata IP as a fallback before our hosted HTTP-based fallbacks I created a default GCP VM from their web wizard. It has no systemd-resolved. I then made its /etc/resolv.conf be empty and deleted its GCP hostnames in /etc/hosts. I then logged in to a tailnet with no global DNS settings. With this, tailscaled writes /etc/resolv.conf (direct mode, as no systemd-resolved) and sets it to 100.100.100.100, which then has regular DNS via the metadata IP and *.internal DNS via the metadata IP as well. If the tailnet configures explicit DNS servers, those are used instead, except for *.internal. This also adds a new util/cloudenv package based on version/distro where the cloud type is only detected once. We'll likely expand it in the future for other clouds, doing variants of this change for other popular cloud environments.
