[Nfd-dev] NFD BroadcastStrategy renamed to MulticastStrategy

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi JeffT

/ndn/broadcast is intentional.
Many applications, including those based on ChronoSync2013, depends on
/ndn/broadcast to have multicast behavior.
Changing this prefix would cause these applications to either stop working,
or operate inefficiently.

Yours, Junxiao
