The context carries additional information about the actor, such as the
request reason, and is canceled when the actor is done.
Additionally, we implement three new ipn.Actor types that wrap other actors
to modify their behavior:
- WithRequestReason, which adds a request reason to the actor;
- WithoutClose, which narrows the actor's interface to prevent it from being
closed;
- WithPolicyChecks, which adds policy checks to the actor's CheckProfileAccess
method.

In this PR, we move the code that checks the AlwaysOn policy from ipnserver.actor to ipnauth.
It is intended to be used by ipnauth.Actor implementations, and we temporarily make it exported
while these implementations reside in ipnserver and in corp. We'll unexport it later.
We also update [ipnauth.Actor.CheckProfileAccess] to accept an auditLogger, which is called
to write details about the action to the audit log when required by the policy, and update
LocalBackend.EditPrefsAs to use an auditLogger that writes to the regular backend log.

The implementations define it to verify whether the actor has the requested access to a login profile.

We add the ClientID() method to the ipnauth.Actor interface and updated ipnserver.actor to implement it.
This method returns a unique ID of the connected client if the actor represents one. It helps link a series
of interactions initiated by the client, such as when a notification needs to be sent back to a specific session,
rather than all active sessions, in response to a certain request.
We also add LocalBackend.WatchNotificationsAs and LocalBackend.StartLoginInteractiveAs methods,
which are like WatchNotifications and StartLoginInteractive but accept an additional parameter
specifying an ipnauth.Actor who initiates the operation. We store these actor identities in
watchSession.owner and LocalBackend.authActor, respectively,and implement LocalBackend.sendTo
and related helper methods to enable sending notifications to watchSessions associated with actors
(or, more broadly, identifiable recipients).
We then use the above to change who receives the BrowseToURL notifications:
- For user-initiated, interactive logins, the notification is delivered only to the user who initiated the
process. If the initiating actor represents a specific connected client, the URL notification is sent back
to the same LocalAPI client that called StartLoginInteractive. Otherwise, the notification is sent to all
clients connected as that user.
Currently, we only differentiate between users on Windows, as it is inherently a multi-user OS.
- In all other cases (e.g., node key expiration), we send the notification to all connected users.
