I'm not through looking at this. However, here are a few preliminary
comments

* we might need to rationalize the header locations a bit
* iterate_json(b) and transform_json(b) are a bit too generally named.
Really what they do is iterate over or transform string values in
the json(b). They ignore / preserve the structure, keys, and
non-string scalar values in the json(b). A general iterate or
transform function would be called in effect with a stream of all
the elements in the json, not just scalar strings.
* Unless I'm missing something the iterate_json(b)_values return value
is ignored. Instead of returning the state it looks to me like it
should return nothing and be declared as void instead of void *
* transform_jsonb and transform_json are somewhat asymmetrical. The
latter should probably return a text* instead of a StringInfo, to be
consistent with the former.
