NdefEditor: do not clear the existing message before reading

The read operation can be cancelled, or might fail for some reason.
In this case, the user does not expect the existing entries to be
deleted, so do not clear the message before reading.

If the read is successful, the existing message is replaced by the
new one, so no action is required here.

Update the example documentation to clarify this behavior.
