The only place that uses LOG_PREFIX is log_store(), and that
now strips it from the flags field before recording it in a log
buffer.

Switch to passing a Boolean flag to log_store() to indicate whether
this record should force a new record--that is, complete the
previous one--and eliminate the LOG_PREFIX flag altogether.  Update
a few comments as well.
