Review Comment:
Without updates, it won't call `getEntryRef` either, but `getEntry` which
copies the returned `LogEntryProto`.
I think it's convenient that EntryWithData returns the
ReferenceCountedObject itself via an interface because next step we will accept
`StateMachine.read` return a ReferenceCountedObject. This means there will be
logic to combine the refs of the LogEntry and the data somewhere, and it's
convenient to put it inside a method of `EntryWithData`.
