// Message is a struct that contains a raft Message and a ReadCloser. The type
// of raft message MUST be MsgSnap, which contains the raft meta-data and an
// additional data []byte field that contains the snapshot of the actual state
// machine.
// Message contains the ReadCloser field for handling large snapshot. This avoid
// copying the entire snapshot into a byte array, which consumes a lot of memory.
//
// User of Message should close the ReadCloser after sending it.
