Florian Preinstorfer 8c09afe20c Headscale implements a single tailnet
Separate the term "tailnet" from user and be more explicit about
providing a single tailnet.

Also be more explicit about users. Refer to "headscale users" when
mentioning commandline invocations and use the term "local users" when
discussing unix accounts.

Design goal

Headscale aims to implement a self-hosted, open source alternative to the Tailscale control server. Headscale's goal is to provide self-hosters and hobbyists with an open-source server they can use for their projects and labs. It implements a narrow scope, a single Tailscale network (tailnet), suitable for a personal use, or a small open-source organisation.
