Simplify tpc_vote() and reflow some long lines.

The simplifications focus on avoiding tests that can be done
elsewhere and on avoiding excessive use of local variable aliases for
attributes.

Move tests for too-long transaction metadata to _begin(), where the
variables are set instead of here where they are read.
