We clear the log messages after asserting since they are no longer

the calling code when we want to check multiple logging calls in a
single test method, and (2) it lets us check in the tearDown() method
that there are no remaining log messages to be asserted.
The latter ensures that no extra log messages are getting logged that
the caller might not be aware of or may have forgotten to check for.
This gets us a bit more mileage out of our tests without writing any
additional code.
We want to clear the array of messages even in the case of
an Exception (e.g. an AssertionError). Otherwise, another
AssertionError can occur in the tearDown() because the
array might not have gotten emptied.
