Putting the globals into a controlled struct make them easier to reason
about, both for humans and for source code analysis. And even if the
resulting struct is little more than the "globals dumping ground", it does
force that they all be declared in one single place, in a place where you

Future project: refactoring ntpd's system variables into a struct.

that in some areas it's still globals all the way down. Translating
these globals will make future refactoring/translating easier.
