This file contains a single global variable controlling which edition
of Teleport is running

This flag contains various global booleans that are set during
Teleport initialization.

These are NOT for configuring Teleport: use regular Config facilities for that,
preferably tailored to specific services, i.e proxy config, auth config, etc

These are for being set once, at the beginning of the process, and for
being visible to any code under 'lib'
