[PATCH 1/8] Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers

This style is overkill for some commands, but it's worthwhile to use the same style to issue all commands, and it's useful to avoid open-coding string lengths.

This is really a clarity improvement for the previous series, but it's here to establish the nicer style before introducing more commands.
