Use helper functions to format the journal iov array

Use helper functions to format the journal iov array

This simplifies the top-level code, at the cost of using a little more
stack space.  The primary benefit is being able to send more fields
without knowing in advance how many of them, and of which types, these
fields will be, and without having to individually add buffer variables.

The code imposes an upper limit on the total number of iovs/buffers
used, and fields that wouldn't fit are silently dropped.  This is not
significant in this patch, but will affect the following one.
