Brad Fitzpatrick b6e17df646 cmd/tailscaled, util/syspolicy: add JSON syspolicy file support
Tailscaled had no way to seed device-scope syspolicy settings short of
environment variables or a custom store wired up out of tree. Add a
--syspolicy-file flag whose default points at a well-known JSON file
that, when present, is parsed as a map[string]any and registered as a
device-scope policy source. The default path is
/etc/tailscale/syspolicy.json on every non-Windows platform (Linux, the
BSDs, illumos/Solaris, and tailscaled-without-the-GUI on macOS) and
%ProgramData%\Tailscale\syspolicy.json on Windows. The flag lets users
running tailscaled by hand (development, custom installs) point it at
an alternate file, and "" disables the load entirely.

JSON values map to setting types as expected: strings to
StringValue/PreferenceOptionValue/VisibilityValue/DurationValue (e.g.
"24h" parsed by time.ParseDuration), booleans to BooleanValue, numbers
to IntegerValue, and string arrays to StringListValue. The file is
validated against the registered setting definitions at load time so
unknown keys and value/type mismatches fail startup loudly rather than
producing surprising defaults at first read.

When HuJSON support is linked into the build (default; opt out with
ts_omit_hujsonconf), the file may use HuJSON (comments, trailing
commas). With ts_omit_hujsonconf it must be pure standard JSON. This
mirrors the pattern used by ipn/conffile.

On Windows the JSON file and the existing HKLM registry store both
register at DeviceScope. rsop merges later-registered same-scope
sources over earlier ones, so per-key values in the file override the
registry while keys absent from the file fall back to the registry.

The loader is registered via a feature.Hook from a file gated by
!ts_omit_syspolicy, and called from main after flag parsing. tsnet
still does not depend on the root syspolicy package, so embedders
don't pick this up implicitly.

Fixes #20305
