As demonstrated by xfs/295, continuation transactions cause of
problems for xfs_logprint. The failure demonstrated by the test is
that the buffer log format structures are variable sized on disk -
the dirty bitmap is sized according to the buffer length, not fixed
to the length of the maximum supported buffer size.

xfs_logprint assumes that the buf log format reocrds are of fixed
size, and so when a short buffer is found it fails to handle it
properly and treats it like a continuation record.  This causses the
opheader pointer to be incremented incorrectly and then logprint
wanders off into a dark corner and gets eaten by a grue.

While fixing this, make the xlog_print_record code that does the
transaction opheader walking a little easier to read and stop it
from outputting binary data direct to the console by converting the
no-data-print case to use a hex dumping loop.
