 In the current code, the `Message` object keeps all `RRsets` stored
 in the response, and they are cleared at the beginning of next request
 handling.

 With the revised version of in-memory data source this is not good
 because the `RRsets` would have a reference to internal data structures
 of the data source (tree node, `RdataSet` object, etc), and if the
 in-memory image is replaced due to like reload between the two
 requests, the `Message` clear operation will lead to some undesirable
 behavior.

 We should revise the code so that the `Message` is always cleared
 at the end of request handling (note: it shouldn't affect sending the
 response data once rendering is completed).  We'd probably extend
 the existing `RendererHolder` helper class to support both the
 renderer and the message.

 When this is done, I believe we can remove the workaround in
 ~AuthSrvText().
