What is the "force carrier" of a magnetic field? Is it photons? I know that the field is generated by the aligned electrons in a permanent magnet, or by a moving charge, but what is the magic stuff flying through space around whatever is generating the field that actually makes up the B field?

Yes, photons. The answer is that the magnetic field is really the electromagnetic field, something we learned of earlier last century when before we thought of the elctric field and magnetic field as independent fields. They are not. See Maxwell's equations.
