[PATCH v2 3/5] telemetry: split out body of json string format fn

[Bruce Richardson]

To enable further rework to (efficiently) avoid using variable-length
arrays, we first separate out the body of the __json_format_str
function. This means that the actual VLA buffer is in the wrapper
function, and means we can reuse the actual writing code in multiple
code paths without duplication.
