[PATCH v2 0/5] telemetry: remove variable length arrays

[Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>]

This patchset introduces a series of changes to remove variable-length
arrays from the telemetry code. The first patch replaces a VLA with
malloc memory for the serialization of the json objects contained within
the main response object, which fixes a crash observed on alpine linux.

Subsequent patches rework the json printing code to avoid the use of
temporary buffers where possible, or use malloc-allocated memory where
not.

Based off testing with the unit tests for telemetry, json serialization
for the telemetry callbacks should always use the path where a temporary
buffer is *not* used, but the allocation-case is kept to ensure that any
unexpected edge-cases are covered too.

Bruce Richardson (5):
  telemetry: fix autotest failures on Alpine
  telemetry: remove variable length array in printf fn
  telemetry: split out body of json string format fn
  telemetry: rename local variables
  telemetry: remove VLA in json string format function
