tailscale: set nftables as default
This changes the default firewall method used by Tailscale to nftables. The 'autodetection' mode is only supported by arm64 and amd64 for now[1]. This causes mips devices to not do proper detection and incorrectly default back to iptables. I added a fw_mode variable to the tailscale.conf file that could be set to iptables for easy conversion for someone still using iptables. I was able to test on an older mips device and my current aarch64 without issues. Also a few readme updates to bring it up to the current status. 1. https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/blob/dc7aa98b768bf82017aa5cc82a62dd4d685f811d/util/linuxfw/linuxfw_unsupported.go#L4C58-L4C58 Signed-off-by: Tyler Young <git@yfh.addy.io>
