The Z3Builder caches declared Arrays and Updates to be across multiple
solver queries. Therefore we can't use Z3's automatic memory
management because that clears expressions when they are popped from
the solver assertion stack.
See
Z3Builder::getInitialArray(..)
and
Z3Builder::getArrayForUpdate(..)
So instead we do our own memory management by using
``Z3_mk_context_rc(..)`` and using the Z3ASTHandle and Z3SortHandle
helper classes to automate most of the increment/decrement of
references.
