Brad Fitzpatrick 8ec07b5f7f ipn/ipnauth: don't crash on OpenBSD trying to log username of unknown peer
We never implemented the peercred package on OpenBSD (and I just tried
again and failed), but we've always documented that the creds pointer
can be nil for operating systems where we can't map the unix socket
back to its UID. On those platforms, we set the default unix socket
permissions such that only the admin can open it anyway and we don't
have a read-only vs read-write distinction. OpenBSD was always in that
camp, where any access to Tailscale's unix socket meant full access.

But during some refactoring, we broke OpenBSD in that we started
assuming during one logging path (during login) that Creds was non-nil
when looking up an ipnauth.Actor's username, which wasn't relevant (it
was called from a function "maybeUsernameOf" anyway, which threw away
errors).

Verified on an OpenBSD VM. We don't have any OpenBSD integration tests yet.

Fixes #17209
Updates #17221
