remote: don't write too much when dealing with multivars We used to move `data_start` forward, which is wrong as that needs to point to the beginning of the buffer in order to perform size calculations. Introduce a `write_start` variable which indicates where we should start writing from, which is what the `data_start` was being wrongly reused to be.
