It's neither bug nor feature. I didn't realize that all other
requests have empty body (what is more, docs say that nop hasn't body
but in fact nop does have body tho) while was writing this code.
As it is stated in the issue, to unify raw statement processing it is
better to add empty body to unprepare response - just refactoring that
may simplify smb's life. That's it.

Anyway, I will introduce box/iproto.test.lua since stacked diag is
a feature. (It is so ironic that developers straggle from decision
which was taken solely by Kirill.)
