[PATCH 02/14] log: refactor add_header to drop some magic numbers

We want to chomp newlines off the end of the "value" string. But because it's const, we must track its length rather than writing a NUL. This leads to us having to tweak that length later, to account for moving the pointer forward.

Since we are about to create a copy of it anyway, let's just wait and chomp at the end.
