 * Format log item into a flat buffers
 *
 * For delayed logging, we need to hold a formatted buffer containing all the

 * write it out asynchronously without needing to relock the object that was
 * modified at the time it gets written into the iclog.
 *
 * This function builds a vector for the changes in each log item in the
 * transaction. It then works out the length of the buffer needed for each log
 * item, allocates them and formats the vector for the item into the buffer.
 * The buffer is then attached to the log item are then inserted into the
 * Committed Item List for tracking until the next checkpoint is written out.
 *
 * We don't set up region headers during this process; we simply copy the
 * regions into the flat buffer. We can do this because we still have to do a
 * formatting step to write the regions into the iclog buffer.  Writing the
 * ophdrs during the iclog write means that we can support splitting large
 * regions across iclog boundares without needing a change in the format of the
 * item/region encapsulation.
 *
 * Hence what we need to do now is change the rewrite the vector array to point
 * to the copied region inside the buffer we just allocated. This allows us to
 * format the regions into the iclog as though they are being formatted
 * directly out of the objects themselves.
