This method encourages directly editing configuration variables. It's a
better idea to use setMwGlobals() (or other set wrappers) so that we can
be intelligent in the future, for instance resetting services after the
config change. Plus, a lot of the callers come out cleaner this way
anyway.

Fixed bug: in PHP versions less than 5.6.0, any request that didn't
attempt to add any groups would warn, because it would call array_fill()
with the second argument (num) equal to 0. From PHP 5.6.0, the num
argument to array_fill() is allowed to be 0.
