Our coding style says static variables suck except for very special cases, i.e. things like the log level or very per-process stuff, such as parsed version of cmdline args and such. sysusers departed from that as one of the very few exceptions in our codebases: it keeps its operational state in global variables. Address that. Introduce a Context object that carries the fields that so far have been global, and pass it around as needed. This has the nice effect that state and configuration is clearly separated in code, and we can very clearly see which functions mangle state and which ones do not. No actual codeflow changes, just refactoring.
