control/controlknobs, all: add plumbed Knobs type, not global variables

Previously two tsnet nodes in the same process couldn't have disjoint
sets of controlknob settings from control as both would overwrite each
other's global variables.

This plumbs a new controlknobs.Knobs type around everywhere and hangs
the knobs sent by control on that instead.

Updates #9351
